Predicate Nominative: A noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that follows a linking verb and identifies or renames the subject of the sentence. Direct Object: A noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that follows an action verb and receives or experiences the action of the verb. Linking Verbs: A type of verb that connects the subject of the sentence to the predicate nominative or the predicate adjective.

Predicate nominatives are nouns that come after linking verbs, such as 'is' or 'are', and are used to rename the subject. Direct objects are the nouns that receive the action of the verb in a sentence. Predicate nouns and direct objects can be used together in a sentence, with the direct object following the predicate noun.
