A noun clause that functions as a subject complement is called a subject complement clause. This type of clause renames or describes the subject of the sentence. It typically follows a linking verb such as "is," "seems," or "becomes."
A noun or a pronoun can be the object of a relative clause. Example:The person who called Sarah last night will call again today.The person who called you last night will call again today.A relative clause does not necessarily have an object, it only needs a subject and a verb:The person who called will call again tomorrow.
A pronoun can serve as a subject complement when it follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject. For example, in the sentence "She is the winner," "winner" is the subject complement and "she" is a pronoun acting as the subject.
A pronoun in the nominative case is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause. A nominative pronoun also functions as a predicate nominative (also called a subject complement, a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject).The nominative pronouns are: I, we, he, she, they, and who.The pronouns you and it are used as a subject or an object in a sentence.Example uses:We can go to school together. (subject of the sentence)The car that he drives is very old. (subject of the relative clause)You should do what's best for you. (subject of the sentence and object of the preposition 'for')The first person to arrive is she. (predicate nominative, restates the subject noun 'person')The Browns came to visit and they brought the baby. (subject of the second part of the compound sentence)It is raining but the weather report didn't call for it. (subject of the sentence and object of the preposition 'for')
Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that) introduce relative clauses that provide essential information about a noun in a sentence. Relative adverbs (where, when, why) connect relative clauses to a noun and provide information about time, place, or reason.
Pronouns in nominative cases are used to identify the subject performing the action in a sentence. They replace nouns to avoid repetition and make sentences clearer and more concise. Common nominative pronouns include "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they."
A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.There are two kinds of complements, subject complements and object complements.Subject Complement: A subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb; it is normally an adjective or a noun that renames or defines in some way the subject. Don't mistake a subject complement for a direct object, only linking verbs can have subject complements.Their pizzas are delicious.Margaret is class president.Mr. Lincoln is my civics teacher.Object Complement: An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or nominating such as make, name, elect, paint, call, etc.They make pizza that is delicious.They elected Margaret class president.That was Mr. Lincoln, my civics teacher.
A pronoun can serve as a subject complement when it follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject. For example, in the sentence "She is the winner," "winner" is the subject complement and "she" is a pronoun acting as the subject.
There are two ways that nouns function as complements:Subject Complement: A subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb that renames or defines in some way the subject. Don't mistake a subject complement for a direct object, only linking verbs can have subject complements.Margaret was elected class president. (Margaret = president)The puppy that we adopted is a beagle. (puppy = beagle)Object Complement: An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or nominating such as make, name, elect, paint, call, etc.They elected Margaretclass president. (Margaret = president)We named the puppy Spot. (puppy = Spot)

No, a relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. A relative clause gives information about its antecedent (most often the subject of the sentence).Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.The relative pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who assigned the work' which relates information about its antecedent 'teacher'.An adverbial clause is a dependent clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. An adverbial clause functions as an adverb; the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.Example: Call me when you're ready.The adverb 'when' introduces the adverbial clause 'when you're ready' which modifies the verb 'call'.
A group of words that have a subject and a verb and express a complete thought is called a sentence. It is the basic unit of written and spoken language that conveys meaning.

A pronoun in the subjective case is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause. A subjective pronoun also functions as a predicate nominative (also called a subject complement, a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject).The subjective pronouns are: I, we, he, she, they, and who.The pronouns you and it are used as a subject or an object in a sentence.Examples:We can go to school together. (subject of the sentence)The car that he drives is very old. (subject of the relative clause)You should do what's best for you. (subject of the sentence and object of the preposition 'for')The first person to arrive is she. (predicate nominative, restates the subject noun 'person')The Browns came to visit and they brought the baby.

Yes, that is correct. A nominative pronoun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, an as a subject complement (also called a predicate nominative, a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject).The nominative pronouns are: I, we, he, she, they, and who.The pronouns you and it are used as a subject or an object in a sentence.Example uses:We can go to school together. (subject of the sentence)The car that he drives is very old. (subject of the relative clause)You should do what's best for you. (subject of the sentence and object of the preposition 'for')The first person to arrive is she. (predicate nominative, restates the subject noun 'person')The Browns came to visit and they brought the baby. (subject of the second part of the compound sentence)It is raining but the weather report didn't call for it. (subject of the sentence and object of the preposition 'for')
The two kinds of complements are subject complements (which follow the verb be and other linking verbs) and object complements (which follow a direct object).A subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb; it is normally an adjective or a noun that renames or defines in some way the subject. A complement is any word or phrase that completes the sense of asubject, an object, or a verb. Don't mistake a subject complement for a direct object, only linking verbs can have subject complements.Mary is my sister.An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or nominating such as make, name, elect, paint, call, etc.Meet my sister, Mary.
The word 'greatest' is not a noun.The word 'greatest' is the superlative form of the adjective 'great'.It can be confusing when the word 'greatest' is used in a sentence as 'the greatest'. For example, when Muhammad Ali said, "I am the greatest!", the word 'greatest' is functioning as a predicate adjective (a type of subject complement) following the linking verb 'am'.A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the subject of the sentence is or becomes the object noun, pronoun, or adjective.In the example sentence above, I = greatest.The noun, pronoun, or adjective following a linking verb is called a subject complement (the object complements the subject).A noun or pronoun subject complement is call predicate nominative (or predicate noun).An adjective subject complement is called a predicate adjective.
