For each sentence:

·         Underline the subject once and label it with “S;”

·         Underline the verb twice and label it “V;”

·         Circle the predicate complement, i.e. the Direct Object, the Indirect Object, the Predicate Noun, or the Predicate Adjective

·         Label the predicate complement.  (DO for direct object, IO for indirect object, PN for predicate noun, PA for predicate adjective).
