Can the verb "to be" have direct objects? or are all direct objects of this verb considered subjective complements? I am working with verbal phrases, and being asked to name the complements within such phrases according to their role in the verbal phrase. Such as: Being loud birds, the parrots were given their own building. In the verbal: "Being loud birds", should "birds" be considered a direct object of the verb, "being," or is it the subjective complement for an unstated noun or pronoun? I am very confused!
