Predicates: Transitive verbs and direct objects

This is an example of a type of predicates where a verb is followed by a noun. The noun in this case completes the meaning of the verb by identifying who or what receives the action of the verb. This noun is a direct object (DO). Verbs that require DO’s to complete their meaning are called transitive verbs.

Examples:

  • The earthquake destroyed the city.

  • The man stubbed his toe.

  • The people wanted peace.

Predicates: Linking verbs and subject complements

This is an example of a type of predicates where a verb is followed by a single noun. In this case, the verb serves merely to introduce a word that renames or describes the subject. This is a linking verb. The noun following the verb is called a subject complement (aka a predicate noun).

Examples:

  • The result was chaos.

  • James is an engineer.

  • The woman became an accountant.

Tip: Instead of the verb, add an equal sign. (The result = chaos)

  • Neighbors gave the dog a bone.
