Linking Verbs
• There are two kinds of subject complements.
• If the subject complement is a noun or a pronoun, it is a predicate nominative.
• If it is an adjective, it is a predicate adjective.
• Predicate nominatives (nouns and pronouns) explain the subject or give another name for the subject.
• Predicate adjectives describe the subject.

Action Verbs
• Action verbs are used to express an action (run, write, walk, laugh, etc.).
• Direct Objects are another kind of complement that do not refer to the subject. Instead, it receives the action of the verb or shows the results of the action. They are used with action verbs and answer the questions “What?” or “Whom?”
• Example:John typed his essay. subj. verb direct object
What was typed? His essay.
