Subject = A person or a thing that is being described or discussed in a sentence. A noun or a pronoun.

Intransitive verb = A verb that doesn’t require an object. Independent.

Transitive verb = A verb that requires an object or receiver of an action. Dependent.

Direct object = The receiver of an action. Answers the question “what” or “whom”.

Indirect Object = A noun or a pronoun receiving the direct object. Answers the question “to whom?” and
“for whom?”

Object Complement = it describes/renames or gives information about the object.

Linking Verb = it links the subject and its complement.

Subject Complement = it describes or provides information about the subject. It can be an adjective or a
noun.
