Subject 

The part of sentence or clause that commonly indicates what it is about, or who or what performs the action (that is, theagent). The subject is typically a noun phrase, or pronoun. In adeclarative sentence, the subject usually follows the first part of the verb.

There are two main classes of verbs: (1) the large open class of lexical verbs (also known as main verbs or full verbs--that is, verbs that aren't dependent on other verbs); and (2) the small closed class of auxiliary verbs (also called helping verbs). The two subtypes of auxiliaries are the primary auxiliaries (be, have, and do), which can also act as lexical verbs, and the modal auxiliaries (can, could, may, might, must, ought, shall, should, will, and would).[4]

A complement (with an e) is something that enhances something else or goes well with it. (For example, cranberry sauce is a complement for turkey.) it is not common, but complement can also mean composisition or make-up. (When used, it is often seen in the termfull complement, meaning the whole number.)[2]
