To identify the subjects, verbs, and direct objects (DO), predicate nominatives (PN), or predicate adjectives (PA) in the sentences, follow these steps:
1. Underline the subject once. The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is the focus of the sentence.
2. Verb: Double underline the verb. The verb is the action or state of being in the sentence.
