NOUNS REVIEW NOTES 1. Cases of nouns: NOMINATIVE – Subject, direct address, predicate noun, and some appositives OBJECTIVE – Direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition and some appositives POSSESSIVE – Noun with an apostrophe and s, to show ownership 2. Functions of nouns that we have learned so far: SUBJECT – the do-er PREDICATE NOUN – the noun following a linking verb (equated to the subject) DIRECT ADDRESS – the noun naming a person being spoken to APPOSITIVE – a noun restating a noun just previous to it DIRECT OBJECT – answers “what?” after an action verb INDIRECT OBJECT – answers “to whom?” or “for whom?” after an action verb OBJECT OF THE PREPOSITION – the noun in a prepositional phrase 3. Forms of the verb “to be”. These are linking verbs. am is are was were be being been 4. Know these facts: A clause must have a subject and a verb. A subject or verb will never be in a prepositional phrase. A direct or indirect object will never be in a prepositional phrase. An action verb takes a direct object and/or an indirect object. A linking verb takes a predicate noun. An appositive is the same case as the noun that it restates. 5. Study the prepositions to help in identifying objects of prepositions.
