A Complement in English is a word or word group that finishes a indepedent clause as a complete thought.

Sally saw something. ( Your subject is Sally your verb is saw and complement is something)

A complement follows the verb "to be" and similar verbs such as "seem".
It tells us something about the subject e.g.: Danny is a photographer.(noun)
Danny is handsome. (adjective)

Danny is mine. (pronoun)
