  5. Direct Object: Completes the predicate by indicating who or what receives the action expressed by the verb. Ex: Emma paint a portrait of Harriet. • Indirect Object: Noun or pronoun that indicates to whom or for whom an action is done. Ex: Olivia gives a ring to Viola. • Appositive: A noun or noun phrase that describes or equates with a nearby noun or pronoun. Ex: Darcy, a supremely proud aristocrat, at first snubs Elizabeth Bennet.

  6. Kinds of Sentences • Simple Sentence: Consists of a single independent clause. Ex: Jane rebels. • Compound Sentence: Contains more than one independent clause, with no subordinate clauses. Ex: Odysseus never gives up hope, and eventually he triumphs. • Complex Sentence: Not only has independent clause, but one or more subordinate clauses. Ex: When Romeo first sees Juliet, he falls instantly in love with her.
