Bedford 21h - Watch out for subject complements! Because the subject complement names or describes the subject, it is sometimes named as the subject.

Example: A major force in our society (is, are) women -- as bread winners, mothers, wives, and CEO's at home.

• cross out prepositions
• "women" is the subject complement further describing "force"
• "force" is the subject
• choose the correct verb
• If you're feeling awkward, make women the subject .......Women are a major force in our society -- as bread winners, mothers, wives, and CEO's at home.
