Are all objects complement?

No, objects are never complements. These are different parts of a sentence. ======= "Objects" are called "complements" in Latin languages, for instance, so that is probably what he/she meant. The indirect object is an indirect complement.


What are complements?

complements are to say something nice to a personAnswercomplements are to say something nice to a person WRONG!The above is the definition of COMPLIMENT, not complement. The complement of something is another thing that, when combined with the first, makes up some sort of whole.So complementary colours would make white (all colours), complementary angles add to 90 degrees, a complement of a set (along with the origianl set) would give the universe - in set theory.


What are the similarities and differences between direct objects and subject complements?

Both direct objects and subject complements are types of complements in a sentence. A direct object receives the action of the verb and answers the question "what" or "whom," while a subject complement renames or describes the subject after a linking verb. However, a direct object is necessary for the sentence to make sense, while a subject complement provides additional information about the subject.


What does complement mean in English grammar?

In English grammar, a complement is a word or phrase that completes the meaning of a verb or a preposition. It usually provides more information about the subject or object of a sentence. Complements can be either direct objects, indirect objects, subject complements, or object complements.


Added word by which the predicate is made complete in sense?

The word that completes the meaning of the predicate in a sentence is called the "complement." It provides additional information about the subject or helps to describe the action of the verb. Complements can be either direct objects, indirect objects, subject complements, or object complements depending on their function in the sentence.
