What is Complement and explain its two types?
उत्तर
There are two types of complement:
- subject complement.
- object complement.
Subject complement is a word or a phrase used after a verb that describes the subject. The underlined words and phrases in the following sentences are subject complements.
- I am hungry.
- My sister became a teacher.
The word ‘hungry’ and the phrase ‘a teacher’ describe the subjects of the verbs. Therefore, they are subject complements.
An object complement comes after the object of a verb and gives us information about the object. The underlined words and phrases in the following sentences are object complements.
- The class made her the monitor.
- The teacher found my answer correct.
The phrase ‘the monitor’ gives us information about the object ‘her’. The word ‘correct’ gives us information about the object ‘my answer’
