Subject Complements • Are the parts of a clause that follow a linking verb.
Linking Verbs include: • all forms of to be (am, was, is, were, etc.), become, and seem. [always] • Sometimes the following can also be linking verbs: appear, become, feel, grow, look, prove, remain, smell, sound, taste, and turn. If you can replace these words with an = sign and have the sentence make since, they are linking verbs.
Subject Complements • Take subjective pronouns, not objective. • Example: A person on the phone asks for you. The correct response is “This is he/she.”
