Identifying Subject Complements Identifying Subject Complements. Underline the subject complement in each of the following sentences. Look for the linking verb to help you find the subject complement. Example: Cheddar cheese is orange. John feels sick today. The mongoose, introduced to Puerto Rico to kill poisonous snakes, has become the island’s most annoying predator. 2. Why are many of our folk heroes outlaws? 3. The chlorine in the pool smelled harsh. 4. This bread tastes moldy to me. 5. The hungry beggar felt too faint to hold out his cup.

The town paper named Emma Best actress. Object complement Now study the following sentences: They made Harry Chairman. The President appointed him Governor. In sentence 1, Harry is the object of the transitive verb made. But if you say ‘they made Harry’, the sense is incomplete. In addition to the object Harry, we need another word to complete the meaning of the verb made. The word Chairman which completes the meaning of the sentence is called a complement. Since it says something about the object it is called an object complement. The town paper named Emma Best actress. The school newspaper declared the play a success. Ms. Stanton appointed Charles director of the next play. We chose Pilar president of the drama club. We made Mickey Mouse our unofficial mascot.
