Direct Objects
Write in your grammar section.
A direct object is a noun, pronoun, or group of
words that tells who or what receives the
action of the verb.
In other words, it completes the meaning of the

Indirect Objects
An indirect object is a noun, pronoun, or word
group that sometimes appears in sentences
containing direct objects. IO’s tell to whom, to
what, for whom, or for what the action of the
verb is done.
If a sentence has an indirect object, it has a
direct object as well.
Subject Complements
*Write in your grammar section.*
A subject complement is a word or group of
words in the predicate that identifies or
describes the subject.
A subject complement is connected to the
subject by a linking verb.
Two types of subject complements are predicate
nominatives and predicate adjectives.
What do you notice?
A dog is a good pet.
Strawberries are a delicious fruit.
Casey has been a great student.
Subject + linking verb + predicate nominative

Strawberries are a delicious fruit.

Predicate Nominatives
A predicate nominative is a word or group of
words in the predicate that identifies the
subject.
In other words, it renames the subject.

minutes to find your “complement” or match.
Your complement will have something that
identifies your item. Once you’ve found your
complement, you need to create a sentence using
a linking verb, showing how the two items are
connected.
