Ex.1 She redecorated the room. Subject of a Verb Ex.2 The first speaker will be he. Predicate Pronoun Notes- Subject of a verb nominatives are always the subject of the sentence. Predicate pronouns are the pronouns in a predicate, after the subject. Nominatives are always the first person speaking.

Notes- Direct objects are the persons or thing, having the action done to them. Indirect object is a noun or pronoun that comes after an action verb, and before a direct object. They are also the noun or pronoun receiving something, whether it be an item or action.

An antecedent is the noun (or group of words acting as the noun) for which a pronoun stands. Sometimes an antecedent will come after the pronoun. The Latin prefix ante- means “before”.
