A subject complement follows a linking verb and modifies or refers to the subject. It may be a noun (also known as a predicate noun or nominative) or an adjective (also known as a predicate adjective).
A linking verb is a verb that acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).

1. This Pizza is delicious.

2. I became a grandmother today, my daughter had her baby.
- subject: I
