A direct object is the receiver of action within a sentence. • Follows a transitive verb [a type of action verb]. • Can be nouns, pronouns, phrases, or clauses. • Remember this simple formula: • subject + verb + what? or who? = direct object • Examples using the formula: • Maurice played soccer with a grapefruit. • Maurice = subject; played = verb. who? Maurice Maurice played what?Soccer = direct object. .

  11. Object Complements • An object complement completes the meaning of a direct object and describes or identifies it. • can be a noun or adjective • must have a direct object first • They named their daughter Natasha. • “Daughter" is the direct object and "Natasha" is the object complement, which renames or describes the direct object. • Objective complements can have modifiers, such as adjectives and/or prepositional phrases. • They elected him the first mayor of the town.

  12. Practice • 1. I consider the driver tired. • 2. The class elected the smallest boy President. • 3. My son painted his room blue. • 4. They considered him a criminal.

  13. Write the sentences and identify the S, V, DO, IO, and OC • 1. Our club voted you treasurer. • 2. Antoine made her happy. • 3. They appointed Mr. Blake chairman of the board. • 4. The judges named her the final contestant. • 5. We named Lakisha our representative.

  15. Object Complements • Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subjectof the verb to additional information about the subject.  • The following verbs are true linking verbs: any form of the verb be[am, is, are, was, were, has been, are being, might have been, etc.], become, and seem. 

  16. Then you have a list of verbs with multiple personalities: appear, feel,grow, look, prove, remain, smell, sound, taste, and turn. Sometimes these verbs are linking verbs; sometimes they are action verbs. • How do you tell when they are action verbs and when they are linking verbs? • If you can substitute am, is, or are and the sentence still sounds logical, you have a linking verb on your hands.

  17. Only action verbs can have direct objects. If the verb is linking, then the word that answers the what? or who? question is a subject complement.
