Answer 19

Well, we know that a subject complement is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that follows a linking verb.

In this sentence, weʻre looking for an adjective.

An adjective, in simplest terms, is a describing word. It modifies a noun. Like instead of it being Lukeʻs friend, itʻs Lukeʻs new best friend. It modified Lukeʻs friend by showing that he is new, and instead of just being a friend, he is his best friend!

Tall is also an adjective due to it modifying Lukeʻs friend, showing that he is tall.


So we know what a subject complement is, and what an adjective is. But what is a linking verb?

A linking verb is a word or expression that links a subject with its predicate.

What is the subject? Lukeʻs friend

Predicate is a grammar term used to describe the part of the sentence which talks about the subject and which has a verb.

There are two sections that talk about Lukeʻs friend. The part that says that he is "new" and Lukeʻs "best" friend, and the part that says Lukeʻs friend is "really tall.

Since the part that says "Lukeʻs friend" has no linking verbs, we need to look to the tall part.

Is! Is is a linking verb. It also links Lukeʻs best friend, the subject, with a predicate.

Is really tall

is = linking verb
really = adverb
tall = adjective

Tall is the adjective youʻre looking for

Let me know if you donʻt get it
