3. Complements
A complement is a word or group of words that completes the meaning begun by the subject and verb.
Four kinds: direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, and predicate adjectives
Two are affected by the action of the verb
Predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives are both called subject complements.

4. Direct Objects
The direct object receives the action expressed by the verb or names the result of the action.
Examples:
1. She drank the soda.
2. I signed the check.

5. Indirect Objects
Indirect objects precede the direct object and tell to whom or what or for whom or what the action of the verb is done.
Examples:
My mom gave me a present.
Bob sent us the memo on Thursday.

6. Subject Complements
A subject complement is a word which follows a linking verb and refers to (explains or describes) the subject.
Two kinds: predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives

7. Predicate Nominatives
Predicate nominatives are nouns or pronouns.
Examples:
1. She is a secretary.
2. It was him.

8. Predicate adjectives are adjectives which modify the subject.
Examples:
She is pretty.
My dog is lazy.
