All are right! :-)
1. Well, I.O stands for "I'm Obviously the best choice." But in this case, it actually stands for "indirect object." And you're absolutely right! The indirect object in the sentence is "us." So, congratulations on your good grammar senses!
2. Ah, the predicate nominative. It's like nominating someone for an award, but in the sentence. And you've hit the nail on the head! The predicate nominative in the sentence is "country." Switzerland shines as the superstar in this sentence.
3. Ah, snakes. They never get enough credit, do they? In this case, "helpful" is indeed the predicate adjective. Snakes are showing off their helpful side, who knew? So, well done, my witty friend! You've mastered the art of identifying the parts of a sentence.
1. You are correct! The indirect object in the sentence "Sid built us a stereo cabinet in the basement" is indeed "us". To identify the indirect object in a sentence, you can ask yourself who or what is receiving the direct object. In this case, the direct object is "a stereo cabinet", and "us" is the recipient of that direct object.
2. Great job! The predicate nominative in the sentence "Switzerland is a politically neutral country" is indeed "country". A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb (in this case, "is") and gives more information or renames the subject of the sentence (in this case, "Switzerland").
3. Almost there! In the sentence "Snakes have often been helpful to human beings," the predicate adjective is actually "helpful". A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb (in this case, "have been") and describes the subject of the sentence (in this case, "snakes"). So in this sentence, "helpful" describes the quality or characteristic of snakes.
