A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or refers to the subject. It may be a noun (also known as a predicate noun or nominative) or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective).A linking verb is a verb that acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).Example sentences:1. This pizza is delicious.subject: pizzalinking verb: issubject complement: the adjective delicious2.

In the sentence, You are a small brown dog, the subject is you and the verb is the word are.
A subject complement is called a subject complement because it 'completes' the subject; it tells what the subject is or has become. A linking verb 'links' the object to the subject with further information about the subject.When an action verb is used, how it is used determines if it is a linking verb.Example action verbs that can be linking verbs:feel: I feel fine. (I=fine, a linking verb); I feel the warm sand. (not a linking verb, I'm not and I don't become the sand)appear: You appear happy. (you=happy, a linking verb); I look and you appear. (not a linking verb, there is no object)grow: Jim grows taller every year. (Jim=taller, a linking verb); Jim grows roses. (not a linking verb, Jim is not and does not become roses)
