Subject Compliment Tips

TIP #01

Use the verbs from the verbs bank in the slides! 

By either using linking verbs (for predicate nominatives) or sensory verbs (for predicate adjectives) you will make your life a lot easier.


TIP #02 

How to Check Your Subject Compliments

A good rule of thumb to check to see if you correctly wrote a Subject Compliment is to ask yourself two questions:

Does my subject compliment rename my subject with another noun or a phrase that acts as a noun (ie; a predicate nominative)?

or

Does my subject compliment describe my subject with an adjective or adjective phrase (ie; a predicate adjective)?

If it does, you succeeded in writing a subject compliment.

If it doesn't, go back to the drawing board and try again.
