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

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
