Complex/Exclamatory/S-Vt-DO-OCA

This week, we will learn the LAST of our sentence patterns! (YAY!) It includes the Objective Complement Adjective, which is similar to the Objective Complement Noun. We will also be review adjectives.

OCA

You will remember from when we learned about predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives that a predicate nominate renames the subject and a predicate adjective describes the subject.

Kroger is a store. Kroger is crowded.

Objective Complement Noun and Objective Complement Adjective are similar to this. The Objective Complement Noun renames the Direct Object:

We named our dog Charlotte.

The Objective Complement Adjective describes the Direct Object:

God called the earth good.

Same as last week, the DO is not complete in and of itself. It requires the OCA to complete the thought. God didn’t call the earth and he didn’t call the good; He called the earth good. Both are necessary.

Selena considered herself American.

Again, Selena didn’t consider herself and she didn’t consider American. She considered herself American.
