A sentence may have no complement at all.
A complement is a noun (or adjective) that follows a linking verb and renames the subject, a subject complement.
When the noun (or adjective) follows the direct object and it tells what the direct object has become, it is the object complement.
If you are not using a linking verb and you are not describing the object of the verb, the sentence has no complement.
