2. You must first find your verb Decide if your verb is action or linking. Remember----linking verbs are am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been. BLASSST FRG!

3. If you have an ACTION verb… Ask who or what after the verb. The answer should be a noun or pronoun. That word will be your DIRECT OBJECT! John ran the race with his friends. RAN is your verb John ran WHAT? RACE = direct object

4. If you have a DIRECT OBJECT… Ask to whom, for whom, to what, for what after the verb and direct object. The answer will be a noun or pronoun and will be your INDIRECT OBJECT. Mark issued his classmates an ultimatum to pass the test. Issued who or what? ULITMATUM = direct object Issued an ultimatum TO WHOM? CLASSMATES = indirect object

5. ACTION VERBS CAN ONLY HAVE DIRECT AND INDIRECT OBJECTS

6. If you have a linking verb… Ask who or what after the verb. The answer should be a noun, pronoun, or adjective. If the answer is a noun or pronoun, you have a predicate nominative. If the answer is an adjective, you have a predicate adjective.
