英语的补语往往指的是宾语补足语或主语补足语.

1.宾语补足语.宾语补足语是对宾语进行补充说明.有些动词后面必须跟补足语意思才完整.如：We call him Xiao Wang.

We often hear her sing this song.

He found his car stolen yesterday.

2.主语补足语.主语补足语大多数是主动结构变被动结构之后,由原来的主动结构的宾语补足语变成了被动结构的主语补足语了.

如：The teacher asked us to hand in our homework before class.----We were asked to hand in our homework before class.
