  • Understanding Subject Complements with 'Goals': A Comprehensive Guide
    You can use "goals" as a subject complement when you want to describe the nature or identity of the subject. Here's how it works:

    * Subject: The person or thing being described.

    * Linking Verb: A verb that connects the subject to the subject complement. Common linking verbs include "be," "seem," "appear," "become," "feel," and "look."

    * Subject Complement: The word or phrase that renames or describes the subject.

    Here are some examples:

    1. Simple Subject Complement:

    * Our main goals *are* to improve communication and build trust.

    * His biggest goal *is* to travel the world.

    * Her dreams *have become* her goals.

    2. Subject Complement with Adjectives:

    * The team's goals *are* ambitious and challenging.

    * Their goals *seem* unrealistic.

    * The project's goals *were* clear and achievable.

    3. Subject Complement with Prepositional Phrases:

    * The company's goals *are* in line with its mission statement.

    * His goals *were* for a better future.

    * Their goals *are* beyond our wildest dreams.

    In these examples, the subject complement ("goals" or a phrase containing "goals") renames or describes the subject (e.g., "our main goals," "his biggest goal," "the team's goals").

    Remember, the subject complement always follows a linking verb and provides information about the subject.
