In the sentence "Sweet are the uses of adversity," "sweet" functions as a subject complement rather than a subject or predicate. The subject of the sentence is "the uses of adversity," while "are" serves as the linking verb connecting the subject to the complement "sweet." Thus, the sentence as a whole asserts that the uses of adversity are characterized as sweet.
No. It might be a complete predicate in "The boy ran quickly."The simple predicate is only the verb and any helping verbs it uses, not adverbs.Examples:The cow has been milked today. (simple predicate: has been milked)The man is walking to the store. (simple predicate: is walking).The man enjoys jogging. (simple predicate: enjoys; jogging is a gerund/noun)
A ratio uses division to compare two quantities.
Algebra was my favorite subject and I have found none of its uses helpful to me, but a few of the uses are to find the distance of a bus and when you will arrive by doing the formula D=RxT distance equals rate times time. and finding when the two buses would arrive if they left at the same time if they were going different speeds or if they left at different times going the same speed by using another formula. There are many little things like that that it can be used for, none of which I would exert my time and energy to find out. but you could definitely use algebra for something in life. -- Amanda

A sentence is a complex sentence if there is one Dependent Clause and one Independent Clause. A dependent clause has a subject and a verb/predicate but does not have a complete thought and uses a dependent marker. Some dependent markers are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, whenever, when, whether and while.
