It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a worksheet titled
"Subject and Object Complements" with several sentences to analyze. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the
text content of the worksheet or describe the specific task.
However, based on the visible title and common structure of such worksheets, here’s what this type of exercise typically involves:
---
🔹 What Are Subject and Object Complements?
-
Subject Complement: A word or phrase that follows a linking verb (like *is*, *was*, *seems*, *becomes*) and describes or renames the subject.
- Example: *She is a doctor.* → "a doctor" is the subject complement.
-
Object Complement: A word or phrase that follows a direct object and describes or renames it.
- Example: *They elected him president.* → "president" is the object complement (describes "him").
---
🔹 How to Solve This Type of Problem
1. Identify the
subject of the sentence.
2. Find the
verb — especially
linking verbs (e.g., *is, was, seems, becomes*) or
action verbs that take complements.
3. Look for a noun or adjective that:
- Renames or describes the
subject →
subject complement
- Renames or describes the
direct object →
object complement

🔹 Example from Your Worksheet
Let’s assume one of the sentences is:
>
Example: The weather was cold and windy.
-
Subject: The weather
-
Verb: was (linking verb)
-
Subject Complement: cold and windy (describes the subject)
So, the answer would be:
Subject complement: cold and windy

🔹 Common Linking Verbs
- Be verbs: *am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been*
- Sensory verbs: *look, sound, smell, taste, feel*
- Verbs of perception: *seem, appear, become, grow, turn*

If you can
type out the sentences from the worksheet, I’ll help you identify whether each has a
subject complement,
object complement, or
neither, and explain why.
Just paste the sentences, and I’ll solve them step by step!
