SPOCA stands for Subject, Predicate, Object, Complement, and Adjunct - these are the five core elements that make up a sentence in English grammar.

How can you know if if the subject complement is a predicate nominative or predicate adjective?
To determine if the subject complement is a predicate nominative or predicate adjective, you need to analyze the function it serves in the sentence. A predicate nominative renames or identifies the subject, while a predicate adjective describes or modifies the subject. Look at the verb in the sentence - if it is a linking verb (such as "is," "was," "seems"), the subject complement is likely a predicate nominative. If the verb is an action verb, the subject complement is likely a predicate adjective.

However, many people talk with incorrect grammar (I'm guilty as charged.) and will leave are as the complete predicate.
