Ancient remains are making the normally flat land hilly. What kind of complement is indicated by hilly? predicate adjective, direct object, object complement, or predicate nominative
object complement
Nouns: Direct Object The direct object is the noun that receives the action of the transitive verb. Typically, a direct object follows the verb and can be found by asking who or what received the action of the verb. ex- ♣ To the average citizen, politics offers considerable frustration. ♣Christine discovered a pile of books hidden under the staircase. ------------------------------------------------ Predicate Nominative The traditional term for a noun, pronoun, or other nominal that follows a linking verb. The contemporary term for a predicate nominative is subject complement. ex- ♣For many of us on the team, the fans were an embarrassment. ------------------------------------------------- Predicate adjective: A predicate adjective modifies the subject of the sentence, and is connected to the subject by a linking verb. In the sentence "The wall is purple," the subject is "wall," the predicate adjective is "purple" and the linking verb is "is." ex- ♣Children grow older every day. ♣ The baby remains happy during her bath. ----------------------------------------------------------- object complement - A word or phrase (usually a noun, pronoun, or adjective) that comes after a direct object and renames, describes, or locates it. Also called an objective complement or an object(ive) predicate. THIS IS WHAT I FOUND OUT... HOPE THAT HELPS :P
