A complement is a word or phrase that completes the meaning of a sentence It provides additional information about the subject or object Complements are essential for creating clear and complete sentences Can you think of a sentence that feels incomplete without extra information?

Noun Complements: That-Clauses One common type of noun complement is a that-clause It begins with the word "that" and contains a subject and a verb Example: "The rumor that the school will close is not true" How does the that-clause help to explain the noun "rumor" in this sentence?

Noun Complements: Infinitive Phrases Another type of noun complement is an infinitive phrase It begins with the word "to" followed by a verb Example: "Her decision to study abroad was exciting" What does the infinitive phrase tell us about "Her decision" in this sentence?

Noun Complements: Prepositional Phrases Prepositional phrases can also serve as noun complements They begin with a preposition (e.g., in, on, at, by) and end with a noun Example: "The book on the table is mine" How does "on the table" help describe "The book" in this sentence?
