补语(complement): 补语用于说明主语或宾语。分别称为宾语补足语和主语补足语。补语例句如下:
He thinks the girl beautiful.
The doctor advised her to have a good rest.
You should get on the plane in turn.
若动词宾语较长,通常用it做形式宾语代替其位置,而将其移至宾语补足语之后:
I found it difficult to finish the task in time.
We have made it clear that we disagreed.
主语补足语:含宾语补足语的句子在转换成被动语态后,原有的宾语和宾语补足语就变为主语和主语补足语。
We found him working in the office. He was found working in the office.
