Subject Complement and Object Complement

In English grammar we have something called a subject complement as well as an object complement. A subject complement defines or describes the subject of the sentence, whereas the object complement completes the meaning of the verb and modifies, names, or renames the direct object.

    Hi mam i saw your video on gerund in this video you told the nominative properties of gerund andu you gave exampls but i have a doubt on one example i.e "His leaving without saying good-bye was rude & disrespectful." My doubt is his leaving is gerund thats ok But "without saying good bye" in this "saying" is it "gerund" or "present participle " as English rule before a noun we have an adjective but here saying is noun & good bye is also noun and "without" is preposition after preposition we should have object. Here what is object of the preposition "saying" or " good bye" pls explain TQ 🙏

    Thanks for your question. The basic sentence here is: His leaving (without saying goodbye) was rude and disrespectful. "His leaving" is the subject, so the word "leaving" is not used as a verb here. In this example the gerund phrase "saying goodbye" is the object of the preposition "without". Here is another similar example: Studying a new language is difficult without practicing daily. "practicing daily" is the gerund phrase and is the object of the preposition "without". I hope this helps.

    @WritingBetter Mam please answer this question 1. Choose the correct combined sentence. There was a heavy traffic. I could not reach the office in time. A) Inspite of heavy traffic I could reach the office in time. B) Inspite of heavy traffic I did not reach the office in time. C) I reach the office in time despite the heavy traffic. D) Inspite of heavy traffic I can reach the office in time.

    Due to the heavy traffic, I could not reach the office in time. “In spite of” means even though something was true, you were able to do something. “Despite the” would also mean the same.

    With the information given to combine into one sentence, none of the 4 answers would be correct. If the given information was: There was heavy traffic. I "could" reach the office in time. Then, (A) would be correct. "In spite of heavy traffic, I could reach the office in time." ("In spite of heavy traffic, I was able to reach the office in time." would be better.)
