Okeh, balik lagi sama gua setelah sekian lama ga mosting di blog karena tugas softskill gua semester lalu dosennya otaknya sedikit sampe-sampe ada temen gua yang udah ngumpulin tugasnya ga diterima sama dia, padahal temen gua udah upload juga ke studensite. Cukuplah ngomongin orangnya, jadi di kesempatan kali ini gua bakal ngejelasin tentang Subject, Verb, Complement dan Modifier.
1. Subject
Subject complement is a noun , pronoun , adjective , or another construction (acting as a noun or adjective ) following verbs of being or linking verb and serves to explain or refer to the subject of the sentence. Subject complement is divided into three , namely : predicate adjective ( subjects connected with the adjective ) , predicate noun ( subject associated with the noun ) , and predicate pronoun ( subject connected with the pronoun ). For example :
- He is such a cute boy. “He” is the subject of the sentence, controlling the verb and the complement.
- Lionel Messi. plays the ball. The subject “Lionel Messi.” performs the action of “playing the ball”.
To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the verb and then make a question by placing “who?” or “what?” before it. Having identified the Subject, we can see that the remainder of the sentence tells us what the Subject does or did. We refer to this string as the “predicate” of the sentence. For example:
- Who plays the ball ?
- “Lionel Messi.” (Subject)
- “plays the ball” ( = predicate) tells us what Lionel Messi does.
2. Verb
Is a function word to indicate the action of the subject , showing events or circumstances . Verb is one of the eight parts of speech. English verbs are not always simple shape (one word) , but may be the result of a combination of phrases into phrasal verbs with particle (get in , make-up , read over). For example :
- Ryan rides a bicycle. Here, the verb rides certainly denotes an action which Ryan performs
- We buy some books to learn English verbs. In this example, the action word is “to buy”. It tells us that the subject “we”, who performs the action of the verb is “buying some books”.
The verb tense shows the time of the action or state. Aspect shows whether the action or state is completed or not. Voice is used to show relationships between the action and the people affected by it. Mood shows the attitude of the speaker about the verb, whether it is a declaration or an order. Verbs can be affected by person and number to show agreement with the subject. Most statements in speech and writing have a main verb. These verbs are expressed in “tenses” which place everything in a point in time.
a.
SUBJECT COMPLEMENT
Exm: He’s a pirate. (The
Subject is completed by the complement to the verb. This is a Copula Verb.
b.
OBJECT COMPLEMEN
Exm: She sent him the box.
(The sentence is completed by telling us what she sent to him.)
c.
ADJECTIVAL
COMPLEMENT
Exm: They will be there
in time. (The sentence is completed by the Adjective; this could be extended
further, They will be there to see us, etc..)
d.
PREPOSITIONAL
COMPLEMENT
Exm: They talked about
what needed to be done. (The setence is completed by the Phrase linked to the
verb by the Preposition.)
4. Modifier
Modifier is a word that tells the time, place or manner of the action. Very often it’s a prepositional phrase. Prepotional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun. A modifier of time usually comes last if more than one modifier is present. A modifier can also be an adverb or an adverbial phrase. The modifier normally follows the complement, but not always. However, the modifier, especially when it’s a prepositional phrase, usually can’t separate the verb and the complement.

6. A text in English with Subject, Verb, Compliment, and modifier.
In a forest an eagle lived on a tree. It had built a
nest wherein to lay its eggs. There the eagle would hatch its eggs all through
the day.Under the same tree there lived a hen. The hen had also laid eggs
during the same period when the eagle had laid its eggs.One day, while the
eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the eagle’s eggs.
The bear had finished three of the eggs when the fourth one slipped off its
hands and fell into the hen’s nest. On returning, the eagle could not find her eggs.
Feeling terribly upset, she decided to leave the place.The hen which lived
under the tree saw the eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs. She felt eggs pity
on the eagle’s egg, and decided to hatch it too. After a few days, the hen’s
chicks hatched. The eagle’s chick hatched, too.
The hen would feed all the chicks, including the
eagle’s chick, as if it were her own. Soon the chicks began to grow.The young
chicks would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to imitate her. The
eagle’s chick also picked up the hen’s sounds. The chicks would all play together
and make lots of noise.Within no time the hen’s chicks as well as the eagle’s
chick grew up to their full size. The eagle’s chick never realized that it was
an eagle and not a hen. Considering itself a hen, the eagle would. eat hen’s
food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens. The
eagle never learnt to fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen
only.
