A noun complement is a noun or noun phrase that follows a verb and provides essential information about the subject or object. There are two types: Subject Complements (Predicate Nominatives) follow linking verbs like 'is,' 'was,' 'became,' or 'seems' and rename or identify the subject (e.g., 'My sister became a doctor' where 'doctor' renames 'sister'). Object Complements follow a direct object and rename or state what the object has become (e.g., 'We named our puppy Cheeky' where 'Cheeky' renames 'puppy').
