What is a subject complement?

A subject complement is a word or phrase that follows a linking verb and provides additional information or describes the subject of a sentence. It helps to complete the meaning of the subject by either renaming it (predicate nominative) or describing it (predicate adjective). In other words, a subject complement is used to further explain or identify the subject of a sentence.
