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 🙏

[@WritingBetter]

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 can we say like this "goodbye is noun (particular object of preposition)and saying is modifying the goodbye so it is participle?

Hi,In the part 3:35, "Her favourite pastime is watching movies." I can also say "Her favourite pastime is to watch movies." In the part 3:40, "Their goal is to double profits by the end of the year." I can also say"Their goal is doubling profits......" Am I right?

[@WritingBetter]

Yes, you are correct.
