In one way, yes. If you mean 'sand' as in 'At the beach the sand was very hot' than it's a noun. If you say 'I am going to sand this piece of wood' then it will be a verb. So it depends.

Hope this helps! :)

What is the simple subject in this sentence On the sand lay a beautiful seashell?

If you reword the sentence, it will make things easier. In English, most sentences have the structure of SVO (subject, verb, object), with prepositional phrases at the beginning or end of the sentence, or after the subject or object. This sentence has the structure of VS (verb, subject) (there is no object) with the prepositional phrase at the beginning. "On the sand" is the prepositional phrase. We will put this at the end of the sentence. To order this sentence correctly, we must switch the subject and the verb (VS to SV). Now the sentence reads, "A beautiful seashell lay on the sand." "Seashell" is the subject. Note: "Beautiful" is not part of the subject, it is only an adjective modifying the subject.

Can a subject complement follow a action verb?

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)
