Subject linking verb subject complement
      I am your teacher

Answer 1

Hint: Dissect the given sentence and go through parts of the sentence separately, and see if there are any extra words to be worth noting. Then, start making similarly constructed sentences.

Complete answer:
 The most simple and base level construction in English is ‘subject + verb + object’. However, it becomes a little more complicated when other parts of speech such as adverbs and adjectives come into play. We can add words that describe other words such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Adjectives are supposed to be placed before a noun and adverbs are supposed to be placed before an adjective or a verb. The articles should be placed in appropriate places, as they are required for specificity.
The given sentence is a simple declarative sentence, which means that it is the simplest construction in grammar.
So, as shown in the example sentence, it seems as though we are only looking for simple sentences.

Let us start by taking a random subject. A subject such as ‘you’ is a good start. This is considered a second-person subject. The verb can be only one thing. Let us choose the only verb appropriate for the term ‘you’ in this verb pattern for the first sentence, which is ‘are’. The object/subject complement has to match the verb. So, the word ‘nice’ is appropriate. We can also add an adverb like ‘very’ before the sentence. So the first sentence is ‘You are very nice’.

Now, we can take a plural subject pronoun such as ‘they’. We have to choose a verb. The correct verb will be ‘are’. And we can add a negation which will add to the object such as ‘not’. We would need an adjective as well, which is ‘friendly’. So the second sentence is ‘They are not friendly’.
Let us take another pronoun as a subject such as ‘He’. We can add the appropriate verb which is ‘is’. We can have the object be ‘king’. This word will need a definite article like ‘the’. So, the third sentence is ‘He is the king’.
Another subject can be ‘we’. So, the verb would be ‘are’. We can experiment with the subject complement a little. So, we can add the word ‘brothers’. The sentence conveys the relationship between two people. So, the fourth sentence is ‘We are brothers’.



Note:
 The subject, verb, and object should all match with each other. The plurality/singularity of the verb should also align with the given subject.
