A subject complement that is a noun is also called a predicate noun or predicate nominative. e.g.:
My neighbor is the president of the PTA.
4. Learning about the past participle as the object complement
如果补语与宾语具有逻辑上的动宾关系, 宾补的动作具有"完成"概念,或宾补表示已经存在的状态,就用过去分词作宾补。常见的用过去分词作宾补的结构有:
keep / leave / have / get sth. done; find / see / discover / observe / notice / hear sth. done; make oneself done
e.g.: I have never heard the song sung in English.
Note:如果把上述结构变为被动语态, 则原来作宾补的过去分词变成主补。
e.g.: 1. The window was found broken.
2. The work was left unfinished.
