Subject Complements
- A subject complement describes or further identifies the subject of a sentence. The two kinds of subject complements are predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives.
- A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and further identifies the subject. My neighbor is a plumber. Nestor remained a singer for many years.
- A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject. The book was exciting. Gail feels confident about the test.
