Object Complements • A direct object is the receiver of action within a sentence. – Follows a transitive verb [a type of action verb]. – Can be nouns, pronouns, phrases, or clauses. – Remember this simple formula: • subject + verb + what? or who? = direct object • Examples using the formula: – Maurice played soccer with a grapefruit. • Maurice = subject; played = verb. who? Maurice Maurice played what? Soccer = direct object. Direct Objects • Write the following sentence, using the formula to label the parts. – 1. I took my little sister to the movie Mulan.

Indirect Objects • An indirect object is also a noun or pronoun that follows an action verb. – direct object must also be present – will never be a prepositional phrase – more than one may be present – answers “to whom?” or “for whom?” • The librarian gave Natasha the card. • The tennis coach gave Ron and Pete the racquets.

Object Complements • An object complement completes the meaning of a direct object and describes or identifies it. – can be a noun or adjective – must have a direct object first • They named their daughter Natasha. – “Daughter" is the direct object and "Natasha" is the object complement, which renames or describes the direct object. • Objective complements can have modifiers, such as adjectives and/or prepositional phrases. • They elected him the first mayor of the town. Practice – 1. I consider the driver tired. – 2. The class elected the smallest boy President. – 3. My son painted his room blue. – 4. They considered him a criminal.

Object Complements • Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subjectof the verb to additional information about the subject. • The following verbs are true linking verbs: any form of the verb be[am, is, are, was, were, has been, are being, might have been, etc.], become, and seem. • Then you have a list of verbs with multiple personalities: appear, feel,grow, look, prove, r emain, smell, sound, taste, and turn. Sometimes these verbs are linking verbs; sometimes they are action verbs. • How do you tell when they are action verbs and when they are linking verbs? • If you can substitute am, is, or are and the sentence still sounds logical, you have a linking verb on your hands. • Only action verbs can have direct objects. If the verb is linking, then the word that answers the what? or who? question is a subject complement.
