What is difference between complement and object of a verb? Eg.1)The boy stood on the burning deck.In this the burning deck is comlement or object.
Ok,now I am clear about it. But, I am still confuse in this:
1) She called me a fool.(Why fool is complement here.)
2)He did not tell the truth.(Truth is complement or object)
What is the difference between the complement and the object of a verb? Eg.1) The boy stood on the burning deck.
In this, is the burning deck [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] a complement or an object?
[STRIKE]Ok[/STRIKE] OK/okay, (space after a comma) now I am clear about it. But (no comma here) I am still confused [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] about this:
1) She called me a fool. (Space after a full stop.) (Why is "fool" [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] a complement here?)
2) He did not tell the truth. (Space after a full stop.) (Is "truth" [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] a complement or an object?)
I am little bit confused in using the article "The" like you have corrected me. Means can you tell me some conditions where it is used.
