christine in al Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Going to be adding MCT to our WWE and FLL, want to just double check that predicate nominative ( FLL) and subject compliment ( MCT) are the same thing. Any preferences of terms out there, IF they are the same thing, I'll pick one term and use it in both programs. ignorant ( but trying hard) in AL ~c in al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 A predicate nominative is a subject complement. Other subject complements are predicate adjective, direct object, and indirect object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christine in al Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 okay. FLL is rigourous. I love it, i also love what I see in MCT.. oh I'm so happy with my language arts curriculum... what an unsual feeling to just love a curriculum. By the time " WE" are in 5th grade, I should know alot. Thanks for the help. ~c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 A predicate nominative is a subject complement. Other subject complements are predicate adjective, direct object, and indirect object.Subject complements can be predicate nominatives or predicate adjectives, but not the other forms you've listed.

MamaT Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 You're right. I had a brain blurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajun.classical Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Subject complements can be predicate nominatives or predicate adjectives, but not the other forms you've listed. Actually, she was right. Direct object and indirect objects are sentence complements. This website explains that there are 5 sentence complements. We are using KISS grammar and he also includes DO and IO as sentence complements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between a subject complement and a sentence complement, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajun.classical Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) There is a difference between a subject complement and a sentence complement, though. I don't see that KISS grammar differentiates. I did misread the original post. I thought she was asking about sentence complements. But now that I look closer I see that KISS talks only about "complements." Ah well. that 's what I get for responding when I am dead tired. Can't even read correctly. :) Edited November 25, 2009 by cajun.classical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There is a difference between a subject complement and a sentence complement, though. My favorite MCT quote: "A subject is a subject and an object is an object." A subject complement can be either a predicate nominative (nominative means subject case) or a predicate adjective, and will follow a linking verb. Sentence complements would include those as well as direct and indirect objects, which will only follow transitive action verbs. An object cannot be a subject complement, because something that is objective case cannot be simultaneously subjective case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
