ENGLISH COMPLEMENT IN THEOLOGICAL WRITINGS

Hendro Prasetianto

Abstract


This article explores the use of English complements in theological writings. Fifteen sentences were taken out of the three selected theology books. The exploration is significant for the teaching of English in semester six at YTCM. The findings show that there are ten complement types and noun phrases occupy the first rank. This implies that complement type, especially noun phrase, should be the focus in the teaching and learning activities.

Key words: complements, theological writings
