COMPLEMENT
A complement completes the verb. It is similar to the subject, because it is usually a noun or noun phrase; however, it generally follows the verb when the sentence is in the active voice.
Note: Every sentence does not require a complement. The complement can't begin with a preposition. A complement answers the question what? or whom?
Examples of complements:
- John bought a cake yesterday. (What did John buy?)
- Jill was driving a new car. (What was Jill driving?)
- He wants to drink some water. (What does he want to drink?)
- She saw John at the movies (Whom did she see at the movies?)
- They called Mary yesterday. (Whom did they call yesterday?)
- He was smoking a cigarette. (What was he smoking?)
