Complements (pg. 347)
A _______________________________is a word or group of words that completes the meaning of the
_____________________________________________of the sentence.
There are five kinds of complements in English:
1.
4.
2.
5.
3.
The first three occur in sentences that have __________________________________________.
The last two are often called ________________________________________________ and are
found only with linking verbs.
A direct object is a
________________________________________________________________________________
acting as a noun that receives the action of the transitive verb.
Example: I visited the Kennedy Space Center.
I: subject
visited: verb
the: article
Kennedy Space Center: direct object
The direct object answers the question _______________or_________________ about the
action verb. If you cannot answer that, the verb may be intransitive and there is no
direct object in the sentence.
Example: The top spun around the table. Spun what or whom? The rest of the sentence
is a prepositional phrase and a direct object will not be in a prepositional phrase. The
verb is intransitive.
Rearrange questions into statements to dissect the sentence and locate the direct object.
Example: Which shows did they see? They did see which shows.
Now you try, rearrange this question into a statement. Underline the direct object.
Did you take cupcakes to Mrs. Reddy this weekend?
______________________________________________________________________________________
Some sentences have _______________________________________________direct object.
Example: The climbers wore helmets and gloves. This is known as a compound direct
object.
An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that appears with a
_____________________________________. It often names the person or thing that
something is given to or done for.
To locate an indirect object, make sure the sentence contains a
__________________________________________.
Then, asks one of these questions after the verb and direct object:
To or for whom or to or for what?
Example: Mrs. Jones taught our class yoga. Mrs. Jones taught yoga to whom? The
answer is our class making that the indirect object.
An indirect object almost always appears between the _________________________and the
________________________________________________. In a sentence with subject-verb
order, the indirect object never follows the direct object, nor will it ever be the
______________________________________________________________________________________.
