The subject complement in the sentence is "to a farmer," which completes the meaning of the subject "they gave their dog" by indicating where the dog was given.
A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or refers to the subject. It may be a noun (also known as a predicate noun or nominative) or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective).A linking verb is a verb that acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).Example sentences:1. This pizza is delicious.subject: pizzalinking verb: issubject complement: the adjective delicious2.

The complement of a verb is a word or group of words that completes the meaning of the verb. This can include direct objects, indirect objects, and other complements that help describe the action of the verb, such as noun phrases, adjective phrases, or prepositional phrases. The complement typically follows the verb and is essential for understanding the complete meaning of the sentence.
A possessive complement is a word or phrase that directly follows a verb and completes the meaning by showing ownership or possession. It is used to clarify who or what owns or possesses something in a sentence.
A complement in grammar is a word, phrase, or clause that is necessary to complete the meaning of a given expression. For example, in the sentence "She is very kind," "very kind" is the complement that describes "She." Complements are essential for providing additional information about the subject or object of a sentence.
