COMPLEMENT
Complement is the term used for a word (or words) which are
needed to complete the meaning of an expression.
Most phrases and clauses will include a complement of some
kind. If you can't remove it from your sentence, then it's likely to be a
complement. This is how complements differ from adjuncts. Adjuncts are optional
as they are usually just descriptive. Complements are not optional. They are
essential to
ensure understanding.
Example :
1) Winnie is pretty.
Pretty is the complement of the sentence.
2) Her father arrived at 7.30 p.m.
At 7.30 p.m is the complement of the sentence.
3) Daisy met her nephew at Ciputra Mall.
