SUBJECT VERB AND COMPLEMENT

The SUBJECT is the word or phrase which controls the verb in the clause, that is to say with which the verb agrees (John is but John and Mary are). If there is no verb, as in John - what an idiot!, or if the verb has a different subject, as in John - I can't stand him!, then 'John' is not considered to be the grammatical subject, but can be described as the 'topic' of the sentence.

A VERB is a kind of word (part of speech) that tells about an action or a state. It is the main part of a sentence: every sentence has a verb. In English, verbs are the only kind of word that changes to show past or present tense.

A COMPLEMENT is a word, phrase or clause that is necessary to complete the meaning of a given expression. Complements are often also arguments (i.e., expressions that help complete the meaning of a predicate). There are indicative as well as non-indicative complements in languages. Non-indicative complements follow the appropriate complementizers. Indicative complements do not follow complementizers, but instead are included with special markers and clauses.


EXAMPLE :
  1. I visited my grand mother in the village lash month. 
  2. We need to eat foods everyday. 
  3. It makes me remember about you. 
  4. We are talking together in the garden. 
  5. My mother always telling about the story of timun mas everynight.
