Answer 10

uhhhhh
here's the definitions I found?

Predicate adjectives. A predicate adjective (pa) is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject:
The sunset was stunning.
They seemed excited.

Predicate nominatives. Like a predicate adjective, a predicate nominative (pn) follows a linking verb; it is a noun or pronoun that renames the subject.
Susie is my friend.
Those people are the volunteers.

Direct objects. A direct object (do) is a noun or pronoun that follows an action verb and receives its action. The direct object answers the question "what?" or "who?"
The storm smashed the windows.
The impact hurtled Anna out of the car.

Indirect objects. An indirect object (io) is a noun or pronoun that comes after an action verb and before a direct object. It cannot appear in a sentence that does not have a direct object. It tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed. Some of the verbs that frequently take an indirect object are promise, make, give, hand, toss, throw, send, and mail.
I mailed my mother the recipe.
Sheila tossed Juanice the basketball.
