  • In this video, I explain the difference between an Adjective Complement and a Predicate Adjective.
    The Adjective Complement (AC) is NOT the same structure as the Predicate Adjective (PA). Though different from the PA, the AC CAN indeed be found INSIDE of a PA. In this video, I give a few examples of this feature.
    The AC "complements" an Adjective, whereas the PA "complements" the Subject of the sentence.
    An Adjective Complement can be realized in THREE forms:
    (1) Noun Clause: "I'm overjoyed THAT SHE LOVES ME."
    (2) Prepositional Phrase: "She's very interested IN PSYCHOLOGY."
    (3) Infinitive: "I'm relieved TO KNOW THAT SHE'S SAFE AT HOME."

    Thanks for helping us giving precise information. I would like to have more videos from your side to be clear about the logic behind other such confusing concepts.

    How about, " That he cheats is a disturbing problem"?

      That's fine. In your sentence, the Noun Clause "that he cheats" would be the Subject; "a disturbing problem" would be the Subject Complement (or Predicate Noun).
