Sentence complement (MP4.3)
Sentence complement is a group of word that completes the subject.
Verbs can be divided into transitive verbs, intransitive verbs and linking verbs.
A transitive verb expresses action that passes from the subject of the verb to an object of the verb.
The subject of the verb is the person or thing that does the action of the verb. And the object of a
transitive verb receives the action.
An intransitive verb expresses action that does not have an object.
Linking verb expresses a state of being. It links the subject to another word in the sentence. Be,
act, appear, seen, appear and turn are linking words.
Please pay attention that some verbs can be used as more than one kind of verb.
A direct object is a noun or a pronoun that receives the action of a transitive verb. A direct object
may be compound.
Indirect object is a noun or pronoun that answer the question to what? to whom? for what? or for
whom? after a transitive verb. An indirect object comes between the verb and the indirect object
in a sentence.
A subject complement is a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that follows a linking verb and refers
to, describes, or modifies the subject.
Subject can be compound and linked by coordinate conjunction.
There are three kinds of sentence complements:
A direct object and an indirect object can be used only with transitive verbs. And a subject
complement can be used only with linking verbs.
