A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or renames the subject. It may be a noun, (also known as a predicate noun or nominative), a pronoun, or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective). Examples:
predicate noun: Mary is my sister. (Mary = sister, renames)
predicate adjective: Mary's feet got wet. (feet > wet, modifies)
Examples with pronouns:
The winner is you. (winner = you)
The trophy is yours. (trophy > yours)

Pronouns can be used as subject complements to rename or describe the subject of a sentence. For example: "She is the best" - "She" is the subject complement that refers back to the subject "She." It adds more information or identity to the subject of the sentence.
