  2. Compliment • Is a word of group of words that complements the meaning of a verb. • There are 2 kinds of complements: • Subject Complement • Object of Verbs

  3. The Subject Complement • The subject complement (SC) is a noun, pronoun, or adjective that follows a linking verb and identifies or describes the subject of the sentence. • EX. Oklahoma is the Sooner State • Sooner State is describing or renaming Oklahoma • There are two kinds of SC’s: • Predicate Nouns (PN) • Predicate Adjectives (PA).

  7. Things to know • A Predicate Noun is always a noun (obviously) or a pronoun. • A Predicate Noun will NEVER fall inside a prepositional phrase. • Unless it is a question, the Predicate Noun will always follow the linking verb: Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Noun • Predicate Nouns always use Subject pronouns (not object pronouns) I, he, she, we, they, who

  8. Predicate Adjective • A Predicate Adjective (PA) is similar to a Predicate Noun (PN) in that it always follows a Linking Verb (LV). • The Predicate Adjective (PA) is always an adjective. • An adjective modifies (describes) a noun or a pronoun. • The PA modifies (describes) the subject of the sentence. • You will not have a PN and a PA next to each other!
