Which kind of complement are the underlined words? The flower with the orange petals is a tiger lily. A. direct object B. indirect object C. predicate nominative D. predicate adjective

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

Tiger lily is underlined.

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

I think it's A. I'm a bit confused on this one.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

What must the item be to be called and or classified to a direct object?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

Noun or Pronoun that receives the action of the verb.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Same to predicate nominative?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

That one was Direct Object. ^^

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Ah, does it receive an action verb, or adjective clause?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

Predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and identifies, renames, or explains the subject.

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

Ohhhh!! "Is" isn't an Action verb!!! So it's D. Predicate Adjective!! Right?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

Because "is" is a linking verb.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

What does it have to be included to be a predicate adjective?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

SORRY!!!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

It is being identified correct?

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

I meant Nominative!!! My bad.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Yeah, xD.

OpenStudy (iluvsoccer):

I can't believe I got mixed up lol!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Just tell the difference! :)! Remember what separates the two.
