在英语中各种词类甚至分句都可以充当宾语补语，这种主-谓-宾-宾语补语（S＋V＋O＋C）的句型在实际使用中十分常见。下面介绍几组这方面的例句。
1．形容词作宾语补语（adjective as complement）：
The jury declared him innocent．
The discovery has made possible new techniques for brain surgery．
2．形容词短语作宾语补语（adjective phrase as complement）：
We'llhold you responsible for allthe consequences．
I felt English not very hard to learn．
3．名词作宾语补语（noun as complement）：
Do you callEnglish an easy language？
We found this place a very good summer resort．
4．"as＋名词"作宾语补语（"as ＋noun"as complement）：
She regarded me as her teacher．
I'lladvance it at the meeting as an argument．
5．介词短语作宾语补语（prepositional phrase as complement）：
They kept us in the dark for quite a long time．
They deprived women of their right to vote until the twenties．
6．动词不定式作宾语补语（infinitive as complement）：
The doctor told me to drink plenty of water．
I heard somebody make a telephone call in the next room just now．
7．过去分词作宾语补语（past participle as complement）：
You should have your car repaired in the garage．
Dozens of people plunged into dead-end streets and found themselves trapped bycrashing buildings．
8．现在分词作宾语补语（present participle as complement）：
We heard the bellstriking two o'clock in the distance．
He had something hanging heavy on his mind．
9．分句作宾语补语（clause as complement）：
Whether he's coming or not，I can't tellyou．
We asked the students what they wanted．
10．形容词或名词在有形式宾语"it"的句子中作宾语补语（adjective or noun as complement in the sentence with a formal object"it"）：
She soon found it possible to do this regularly．
John found it an absolute pleasure to talk with the villagers in simple Chinese．
从以上例句中可以看出，宾语补语的位置一般紧跟在宾语之后，但也有少数例外：如果宾语太长，而宾语补语很短，往往只有一个单词，那么这时宾语补语就要提前，紧跟在谓语后面，宾语置于句尾，第一组第二个例句中的宾语补语就属于这种情况；在有形式宾语的句子中，宾语补语通常置于形式宾语和真正宾语之间，请参看第十组两个例句中宾语补语的位置；如果用分句作宾语补语，那么宾语补语的位置可以置于主句之前，也可以置于主句之后，就像第九组中的两个例句。
