10. 4. Review: Predicate Nominative
A noun can be the subject, a direct object, an indirect object of the preposition, or a predicate nominative
When a sentence has a form of the verb be as the main verb, the noun that follows the verb is a predicate nominative
The verb be can never take a direct object

11. 4. Identify It: Noun Functions
Please turn to workbook page 43
Identify the use of the underlined noun
Use context to decide if the underlined noun should be labeled as a subject, direct object, or a predicate nominative
Put an “X” in the appropriate box
The subject answers the question what did they (he/she/it) do?
The direct object answers the question what did they (he/she/it) do it to?
The predicate nominative comes after the linking verb and renames the subject
