Actually i dont have sentence because sir gave me one page in which paragraph is written but now this paragraph is not with me You just give me some examples and tell me main differences between Predicate Noun and Object Noun Just like tdol told me that Subject noun always come before main verb . Okay i hope you help me in this way. You all are great persons because you all help us . and solve our problems .

[Casiopea]

OK. I see. No worries.

A predicate noun is more commonly known as a subject complement. It's a noun that comes after the verb and refers back to the subject, and it only occurs with linking verbs, so it's easy to spot.

Here is a list of linking verbs.

am, is, are, was, were, be, been, will be
become, appear, taste, prove, grow, look, remain, seem, feel, sound

Here are examples of predicate nouns.

She is a doctor. She = doctor
They were neighbours. They = neighbours
We remained friends. We = friends

[Farhaj]

Okay you tell me about predicate noun then what about Object Noun. You gave me few examples as well but in my point of view.

She is a Doctor. She(Subject Noun) Doctor(Object Noun)

so please i am still confused i hope you dont mind. Please gave me definition about object noun as well and also gave me two or three sentences just for my test then i will give u answers if i give u right answers then it means that i understand. Okay Bye take care.

Both the direct object and the predicate noun come after the verb. What you need to do is look at the verb and decide if it's a linking verb or not a linking verb. If it's a linking verb, then the noun is a predicate noun, and if it's not a linking verb then the noun is a direct object. With linking verbs, the noun is called a predicate noun. (Please see the list of linking verbs I provided before)

She is a Doctor. (Predicate Noun. "is" linking verb)
She washed the car. (Direct object. "washed" non-linking verb)

TEST sentences:

1. Max likes pizza.
2. Sam gave the book to Pat.
3. We are students.
4. She baked a cake.

Afterwards, let's talk about indirect objects.

1. The noun "pizza" is a _____________.
2. The noun "book" is a__________.
3. The noun "students" is a__________.

1. The Noun "pizza" is a Object Noun.

2. The Noun "book" is a Object Noun.

3. The Noun "Student" is a Predicate Noun.

Answers:
1. Max likes pizza. (predicate noun)
=> "like" is a linking verb.

Note, "like" expresses a state. Max didn't do anthing to the pizza. Max just likes pizza. Linking verbs express states; non-linking verb have the subject doing something to the direct object. Remember, it's called a "direct" object, not just "object".

2. Sam gave the book to Pat. (direct object)
=> "gave" is not a linking verb.

3. We are students. (predicate nominal)
=> "are" is a linking verb.

4. She baked a cake. (direct object)
=> "baked" is not a linking verb.

About indirect objects:

Some verbs take more than one object, and the second object is called the indirect object. Example,

She gave the book to Pat.

The indirect object is required by the verb. If it's omitted, the sentence doesn't make sense:

She gave the book. (Huh? Who did she give the book to?)

The indirect object can switch places with the direct object, and when that happens the preposition is often omitted:

She gave the book to Pat => She gave Pat the book.

Does that help? If not, please let us know.
