Grammar: Subject Complements. Open in Notability. (To be submitted to Showbie by 8:05 am)

Reminders:Now we have learned about action and linking verbs.

Action verbs can be transitive or intransitive. Transitive verbs will have direct objects (do). Intransitive verbs will not have direct objects. Direct objects are examples of subject complements.

Linking verbs also have subject complements. They can have predicate adjectives (PA) or predicate nominatives (PN). Predicate nominative is the big name for predicate noun.

Directions: In the following sentences, draw a line between the subject and the predicate. Put AV over Action verbs and LV over Linking Verbs. Then determine the subject complement, if there is one. Indicate if it is DO, PA, or PN. Put the appropriate label over the appropriate word.

Example: AV d.o. Ms. Flynn | creates a handout for her class.
