- In contrast, a sentence complement is a clause that is lexically specified by a particular noun, like fact […], and consequently, there is no missing position in the embedded clause. Other nouns with clausal components include belief, report, statement, possibility and many others. These nouns take a clause as part of their meaning. For fact, for example, the clausal complement describes the content of the fact.
