More about subjects… • Simple subject: the noun or subject pronoun that the sentence is about • The wonderful teacher praised her attentive students. • Complete subject: includes the simple subject and all of its modifiers • The wonderful teacher praised her attentive students. • Compound subject: a double subject • Cameron and Andreware the cutest boys in the world.

  4. and predicates… • Simple predicate: the verb • Mark hits the ball. • Elizabeth is the craziest teacher. • Complete predicate: everything that is said about the subject: • Mark hits the ball. • Elizabeth is the craziest teacher. • Compound verb: The subject has more than one verb • Mark hits the ball, runs to first base, and falls on his face.

There are 2 kinds of subject complements: • Predicate nominative: a predicate nominative is a subject complement that is a noun or subject pronoun. • Examples: • Mrs. Henrikson is a teacher. • The boys were athletes. • It is I, Hamlet. • Predicate adjective: a predicate adjective is a term sometimes used to describe a subject complement made out of an adjective. • Examples: • I am sleepy. • Lauren is goofy. • The houses were blue.

  12. Also in the predicate… • Object Complement: a noun, object pronoun, or adjective that completes the meaning of the direct object. • So, how do you find the object complement? • First, identify the direct object (what is receiving the action?). • Then, find the word that describes that direct object. • Go ahead! Find the object complements in these sentences: • They elected him president. • They painted the house blue.
