IMPROVED ANSWER :
hmm..Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America.
Barack Obama is the subject
IS is the linking verb
and PRESIDENT is the subjective complement
like saying barack obama = president
As the definition states the subject complement follows either a linking verb or a pronoun. Therefore yes a sentence that contains a linking verb will also have a subject complement.
The function of subjective complements is to follow the linking verb with a predictive expression. It also works to complement the subject of the sentence.
The linking verb in the sentence is "is." It connects the subject "he" to the subject complement "exactly right about that."
There is no subject complement in that sentence. A subject complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective that follows a linking verb. Left is the verb, and it's transitive, not linking.
"Was" is a linking verb. It is used to connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement that describes or renames the subject.
The verb in the sentence is was, a linking verb(neighborhood=dark).
Yes, "elected" can function as a linking verb in certain contexts. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which renames or describes the subject. In the sentence "She was elected president," "elected" links the subject "She" to the subject complement "president."
No, "lives" is not a linking verb. It is a action verb indicating the act of living. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
The linking verb in the sentence "he is exactly right about that" is "is," which connects the subject "he" to the complement "exactly right about that."
Yes, "were" can function as a linking verb in sentences to connect the subject with a subject complement. For example, in the sentence "They were happy," "were" links the subject "They" with the subject complement "happy."
No, "can" is not a linking verb. It is a modal verb that is used to express ability or possibility. Linking verbs (e.g., is, am, are) are verbs that connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
"To" is not a linking verb. Linking verbs are verbs that connect the subject of a sentence to a complement such as an adjective or noun that describes or renames the subject. "In" is also not a linking verb, it is a preposition that shows a relationship between two things in a sentence.
