How do you use the word grammar in a sentence?
The word 'grammar' is a noun. A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or clause, and as the direct or indirect object of a verb or the object of a preposition.Examples:The grammar used in some of these questions needs to be improved. (subject of the sentence)The impression that your grammar conveys is as important as your attire. (subject of the relative clause)Some do use grammar correctly. (direct object of the verb)You can always improve your first impression with good grammar. (object of the preposition 'with')A noun can also function as:The only problem is his grammar. (a subject complement, a noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates the subject)He has a problem, his grammar. (an object complement, a noun that follows and restates a direct object)His grammar exercises are paying off. (an attributive noun, a noun that functions as an adjective to describe another noun)
What is the definition of predicate?
A predicate noun (more correctly called a predicative noun) is a type of complement. The complement element of a clause adds meaning to that of another clause element - either the subject (the subject complement), or the object (the object complement). A subject complement (Cs) renames the subject, for example in 'John is an accountant', 'John' is the subject and 'an accountant' is a subject complement (predicative noun). An object complement (Co) renames the object, for example in 'I find your children angels', 'children' is the object and 'angels' is an object complement (predicative noun). Be careful to avoid confusing 'predicative nouns' with 'predicative adjectives' - the latter describes rather than renames the subject or object. In the above examples if you replace 'an accountant' and 'angels' with 'fat' and 'charming' respectively, these would be predicative adjectives.
What is a complement?
A complement can be many things, such as the set of things that completes the arrangement, i.e. a full complement of officers. In grammar, it refers to nouns or adjectives that can refer to the subject (after a linking verb) or the direct object (after an action verb). Examples: Jim became our new governor. (governor is a noun and a subject complement)* The girl is smart. (smart is an adjective and a subject complement) We painted the fence white. (white is an adjective and an object complement) *if the verb is BE or its equivalent, the noun is also a predicate nominative.

Ahmed is her. is her an object or complement?
No, the word 'her' is the object of the linking verb 'is' (an awkward sentence, it's more usual to phrase the idea as 'She is Ahmed.').An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or an adjective that follows the object of the verb, renaming the object; for example: 'She is my friend Ahmed.' Ahmed is the complement of the object 'friend'.
What form of the pronoun is used if it is the complement of a verb?
A complement is any direct object or indirect object of a verb. The appropriate pronoun used as the verb complement is an objective form pronoun, which are: me, us, him, her, and them; you and it are used as a subject or an object.
