example modifier and complement
Yes, an objective complement can sometimes be found in a prepositional phrase. This often occurs when the prepositional phrase describes or completes the action of the verb and is necessary to fully understand the meaning of the sentence.
There is no subject complement in this sentence. In this sentence "felt" is a transitive action verb with "pulse" being a direct object, receiving the action of the verb.To have a subject complement in the sentence, "felt" would have to function as a linking verb. Example: The patient's pulse felt rapid. (In this case "rapid" is a predicate adjective describing the subject "pulse"; "rapid" is the subject complement.)
I was awed by the full complement of nurses that suddenly appeared.
objective complement
A sentence complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and provides additional information about the subject. It can be a noun, pronoun, adjective, or adverb that completes the meaning of the linking verb. Sentence complements can be either predicate nominatives or predicate adjectives.
The subject - linking verb - complement sentence pattern includes a subject plus a linking verb (is, are, were, was, am, will be, being, been) plus the subject complement, which can be a noun or an adjective. Some examples are:Susie is queen of the class to her classmates.The dog was playful, the kids noticed.Parents are people. too.
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.
predicate adjectives
Jason was elected the class president.The cake is grandma's recipe.We are Miranda's daughters.
In the sentence 'The pizza Marcus made you was delicious,' the type of complement 'you' is is called a direct object.
No, the word 'her' is the object of the linking verb 'is' (an awkward sentence, it's more usual to phrase the idea as 'She is Ahmed.').An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or an adjective that follows the object of the verb, renaming the object; for example: 'She is my friend Ahmed.' Ahmed is the complement of the object 'friend'.
