Complete Subject dan Complete Predicate

Setiap complete subject pada dasarnya dibangun oleh satu atau lebih noun (kata benda), pronoun (kata ganti), atau konstruksi lain yang dapat berperan sebagai noun seperti gerund (verb-ing) dan infinitive (to-verb); dengan/tanpa tambahan modifier(s) yang dapat berupa article (the, an, an), adjective (kata sifat), dan prepositional phrase (preposition + object).

Complete predicate terdiri dari verb atau compound verb (auxiliary verb + verb)  dengan/tanpa tambahan modifier(s) dan complement (tambahan kata lain untuk melengkapi makna kalimat). Modifier yang digunakan dapat berupa adverb (kata keterangan) dan prepositional phrase. Sedangkan complement dapat berupa direct object jika kata kerja yang digunakan merupakan transitive verb, atau berupa subject complement jika kata kerja yang digunakan merupakan linking verb.

rumus complete subject dan predicate: complete subject: +/- modifier (e.g. a/an/the, adjective) + noun/pronoun/gerund/infinitive +/- modifier (e.g. prepositional phrase); complete predicate: +/- auxiliary verb + verb +/- complement (e.g. direct object, subject complement) +/- modifier (e.g. adverb, prepositional phrase)
