D. Discussion and Activities # 1

An adjective is a part of speech that modifies or describes a noun. An adjective complement is

a group of words, either a prepositional phrase or a noun clause, that modify an adjective.

 A noun clause is simply two or more words that function as a noun. It should have a
subject and a verb, and, since it takes the place of a noun, it's a dependent clause and
cannot stand alone. A noun clause starts with the words "that," "how," "if," and the "wh-"
words - "what," "when," "why," etc.
 when you arrived
 that he is happy
 where Sara went

 Prepositional Phrase- A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition - such as "with,"

"about," "on," or "in" - and is followed by a noun, pronoun, noun phrase, pronoun phrase,
or noun clause.
 with the car
 under the bridge
 after the show

An adjective complement always follows the adjective it complements.

Take a look at these example sentences with the adjective complement underlined:

 She was unsure how her parents would react. (noun clause)
 My boss was anxious when sales fell. (noun clause)
 Are you afraid of spiders? (prepositional phrase)
 We were shocked by the news. (prepositional phrase)
 I was delighted that she was chosen. (noun clause)
 I am very surprised about the nomination. (prepositional phrase)
 The little boy was eager for Christmas to arrive. (prepositional phrase)
 I am curious what color you picked. (noun clause)
 It was wrong of her to leave. (prepositional phrase)
 I will be happy when I get married. (noun clause)
