    Complement
    An adjective complement is a group
    of words that follows an adjective and
    completes its meaning. Without it, the
    meaning of the adjective is not
    complete, or its sense is different from
    what it will be if the complement is
    there.
    example
    He was glad that his
    mother explained to
    him the reason.
    He was not afraid of
    the answers he
    would get.

    His mother was right
    that what men do is
    done by hands that
    are the same.

    Work with a partner. If the
    underlined group of words is an
    adjective complement, write
    YES. If it is not, write NO and
    explain why it is not an adjective
    complement.
    _____1. Racial
    discrimination is
    difficult to understand.
    _____2.People should
    never be happy to see
    others being
    oppressed.
    _____ 3. Governments
    should rejoice when
    citizens fight for their
    human rights.
    _____4. Public servants in
    different parts of the world
    should work together to
    promote human dignity.
    _____5. It is important that
    future generations of
