I know this might sound obvious but it is a complement that is used to predicate a description of the subject of a clause.
So for example:
Wolfus romanus est. "Wolf is Roman".
Wolfus is the subject.
Romanus is the complement.
Est is the linking verb.
In Latin, complements are usually found with linking verbs and they describe the subject. They are usually in the "nominative case".
Do not, under any circumstance, relate complements to adjectives, they're not the same.
Eg.
Romanus Wolfus. "The Roman Wolf."
Roman, in this case is adjectival. Yes, it describes the subject, but it doesn't have the linking verb.

Of course! whee I learned a little Latin last year, but couldn't take the class until this year. 3nodding My friend let me read her textbook, so I'm already a little ahead. The only part that I have trouble on was the grammar (English grammar related to Latin) because I never liked grammar and didn't really learn/remember it until two years ago. sweatdrop
Oh, that reminds me that in my class, the complement would = the predicate nominative. So now you're example makes more sense than before. 3nodding
