Preliminary

    Today, the times are progressing. therefore English is very important for us to learn early on. English is one of the international languages ​​spoken by many countries. In some countries, English has become a second language for its people, because the role of English as a language of international communication is very important for various sectors, and Indonesia is one of the countries that now make English as a second language, although not all Indonesian people do. So in here I will research about Subject, Verb, Complement & Modifier.

Problem

    In General, Maybe we are so very familiar with the name Subject, and Predicate (Verb) in a sentence. And basically, a sentence can be said Sentence if it has both Component (Subject & Verb). But what about the role of Complement and Modifier in a Sentence? Here I will give an example what is subject , Verb, Complement & Modifier in a Sentence.

Example:

      1.      Jihan wearing new clothes to the party tonight.

•       Subject: Jihan can be interpreted as SUBJECT because it shows what or who is discussed in a sentence or clause.
•             Verb: Wearing can be interpreted as VERB because it shows a word that serves to indicate the action of the subject indicates an event or state
•             Complement: To the party can be interpreted as COMPLEMENT because usually in the form of noun (noun) or noun phrase (noun phrase) usually present after verb in active sentence
•        Modifier: Tonight as MODIFIER serves to explain the time.

       2.      Rina drank coffee milk yesterday

•       Subject: Rina, because Rina is the person doing the action 
•        Verb: drank, because as a verb by Rina
•        Complement: coffee milk, as a Complementary word for the drank
•        Modifier: yesterday, as a description of place and time.

Solution

    Here I will explain what is the Subject, Verb, Complement, and Modifier. Subject is about what or who is spoken in a sentence or clause whereas predicate explains something about the subject. Subjects can be people, animals, objects, or abstract concepts. Second is verb, Verb are a class of words used to show the performance of an action (do, throw, run), existence (be), possession (have), or state (know, love) of a subject. To put it simply a verb shows what something or someone does.verb a function word to indicate the action of the subject, showing events or circumstances. A Complement is the part of a Sentence that comes after the Verb and is needed to make the sentence complete. A Modifier is a word, phrase, or clause which functions as an adjective or an adverb to describe a word or make its meaning more specific. Tells the time, place or manner of the action. Very often it’s a prepositional phrase. Prepotional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun.
