Pengertian Subject Complement
Subject
complement adalah noun, pronoun, adjective, atau konstruksi lain (berperan
sebagai noun atau adjective) yang mengikuti verbs of being atau linking verb
serta berfungsi menerangkan atau merujuk subjek kalimat.
Subject
complement terbagi menjadi tiga yaitu:
§ predicate adjective (subjek dihubungkan dengan
adjective)
§ predicate noun (subjek dihubungkan dengan noun)
§ predicate pronoun (subjek dihubungkan dengan
pronoun).
Keterangan:
Subject complement = bold . linking verb = italic.

So, What is a verb complement?
A
verb complement is the arrangement of one verb as the object of another verb.
This happens three ways in English:
1.
With infinitives,Infinitives adalah bentuk dasar dari verbs. Dalam bahasa
inggris, penulisan infinitives biasanya diawali dengan “to”. Misalnya: to read,
to walk, to give, dan seterusnya. Meskipun pada umumnya infinitive diawali
dengan “to”, akan tetapi ada beberapa infinitive tanpa “to”, biasanya disebut
dengan “bare infinitive”. Contoh:
a.
Subject + Verb + to infinitive
ü I want to study English.
ü I hope to see you again.
ü Residents are not allowed to bring pets in my
apartment.
b.
subject + verb + object (nouns/ pronouns) + to infinitive
ü My boss expects me to finish the work as soon as
possible.
ü The teacher reminded the students to do their
homework.
ü The doctor advised him to stop smoking.
§ I asked her to leave.
§ I wanted to leave.
§ I helped him to leave.
§ I stopped for the child to cross the street.
2.
With gerunds Verb + Gerunds
Gerund
adalah kata kerja yang berfungsi sebagai kata benda sehingga dapat berfungsi
sebagai subjek, objek dan pelengkap (complement) dalam kalimat, juga di
belakang sebuah preposisi. Bentuk gerund biasanya disebut verb+ing. Mungkin
istilah itulah yang biasa kita kenal selama ini mengenai gerund. Singkatnya,
Gerund adalah kata benda yang dibentuk dari kata kerja (verb) + ing. Gerund
sebagai pelengkap tidak dapat dijadikan subject dalam kalimat pasif (passive
voice). Gerund terletak setelah to be: is/am/are, was/were, been/being/be.
Contoh :
§ My hobby is fishing
§ Her hobby is reading novel
§ My favorite sport is playing football
§ What she wants to do now is crying over her mother to
release her burden.
§ I considered leaving the job.
§ I regretted his leaving the job.
§ They decided on leaving.
3.
With noun clauses,
§ I insisted that he leave.
§ I wondered why he left..
§ She acknowledged that she had left the job.
§ He didn’t know that she had left.
§ She decided when she would leave.
Verb + Preposition + Gerund
Ada
dua kemungkinan jika Gerund digunakan sebagai Object, yakni Object of Preposition
(Object Kata Depan) dan Object of Verb (Object Kata Kerja). Beberapa preposisi
(preposition) lazim yang sering diikuti oleh Gerund adalah: about, in, for, of, without, from, by, dan to.
Untuk preposisi “to”, boleh diikuti Gerund jika fungsinya memang
sebagai presposisi, bukan bentuk dari infinitive. Contoh :
