What is the meaning of noun and noun complements?

Answer 1

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

There are two kinds of noun 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.
