Wow! This is a great video. The explanation is simple and very clear. Viewers can understand everything because of the simplified manner of presentation. Very impressive. Thank you very much for this video. I was inspired to create my own channel because of this. Thanks a lot and God Bless.
Hi, Thank you for your video. I have a question for verb complement. Complements are placed after the verb, within the predicate. at 4.18 : Rodney sprinted toward the finish line. "Sprint" is the intransitive verb and it doesn't need a complement to be followed. "toward the finish line" is a prepositional phrase not a verb complement. Am I right?
No, you are incorrect. As I said in the video and as underlined in red on the screen, "the finish line" is the complement. The word "toward" is not included in the complement. Listen again. :)
@@profarhampton I'm still confused. Why do you exclude the word "toward" ? Should complements start right after the finite verb by definition, S+V+C ? I'm new to this complement concept and hope you can help me to clarify this sentence structure.
Good question. No, complements are not part of the verb phrase. Verbs or verbals note the action of a sentence. Complements give additional description or detail. Complements appear in the predicate part of the sentence, which includes the verb. However, complements are not parts of the verbs or verb phrases themselves. Hope that helps!
Well, thanks. I'm glad you got something out of the video. Now, go buy my grammar books, and practice the language more before you try to 'correct' me. :) www.arhampton.com/books
An infinitive is a verbal that includes "to" + the verb. Complements do not affect the verb, so it doesn't matter if complements are in the sentence or not. Complements do not define or determine the usage of verbals. Be sure to get my grammar books: www.arhampton.com/books.
The video isn't the problem. Perhaps your intellectual capacity to comprehend is the issue. Instead of writing rude comments, you should have viewed the new videos on this subject. Think before you use your limited language abilities to be a jerk on my channel. Thanks for watching!
No, there are no errors in this video. Perhaps you need to review your own understanding of these advanced English grammar concepts. Sometimes non-native English speakers get confused. Good luck!

You made that a thousand times more complicated than it had to be.
Why don't you explain it more clearly? I'll wait.

Hello
Can a subject complement be a part of a verb phrase?
Good question. No, complements are not part of the verb phrase. Verbs or verbals note the action of a sentence. Complements give additional description or detail. Complements appear in the predicate part of the sentence, which includes the verb. However, complements are not parts of the verbs or verb phrases themselves. Hope that helps!
@@profarhampton thank u
But yeah, i really loved this video, I could increase the knowledge of mine. DO appreciate the video.
Well, thanks. I'm glad you got something out of the video. Now, go buy my grammar books, and practice the language more before you try to 'correct' me. :) www.arhampton.com/books
Can we say complements have the same meaning with objects? By the way,thanks for the beneficial video!
Well, the complete name for subject complements & object complements mean they are two kinds of complements.
great job i really proud of u believe me 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! I appreciate your compliment!
There is an error here , the word " toward " belongs to the Predicate which is not underlined to consider it as a part of Predicate.
No, YOU are wrong. The predicate always starts with a verb. Sprinted is the verb that begins the predicate.
if i am right the sentence "Vera laughed" is Vera is the subject and Laughed as the intransitive verb
Yes, that is correct.
What about: I wrote a letter to my friend. Isn’t to my friends answering the “to whom” ? Why isn’t it indirect object ?
@@modernchocolatechristians1908 Thank you so much for your help
I am just seeing this comment, but you're welcome!
Good
Thanks!

Thank YOU for watching!
I like it .my head about to blow awww 🙄
Ha! It is a lot of information. Just seeing this comment, but thanks for watching!
I don't think that to jump is a infinitive phrase, as it doesn't have any complements or modifiers of to jump.
An infinitive is a verbal that includes "to" + the verb. Complements do not affect the verb, so it doesn't matter if complements are in the sentence or not. Complements do not define or determine the usage of verbals. Be sure to get my grammar books: www.arhampton.com/books.
In the sentence - donna quickly became irritated . what irritated is? It 's a subject complement or objective complement?
Did you watch the video? Perhaps you should watch the newer videos on object and subject complements. Good luck!
nice
Thanks for watching!
why
you not clarify verb you only clarify adjective
Hi Ram, it sounds like you need some developmental work on subjects, verbs, nouns, and adjectives. This video is a bit more advanced. Good luck!
haha..
It doesn't help

I don't think so. Where is your video explaining these concepts 'correctly' in your estimation?
Thanks for bad 👎 video
Go create your own video. I'll wait. Stop being an ass on my channel!
Ok😠😤
