You need to study your text. You have a long way to go before you understand these terms.
Sure! Here are a couple of sentences for you to analyze:
1. "Samantha gave her brother the book."
In this sentence, the direct object is "the book" because it is the recipient of the action of giving. The verb is "gave" since it shows the action being performed. The subject is "Samantha" because she is the one performing the action. There is no indirect object in this sentence.
2. "The bright sun makes the day feel warm."
Here, the verb is "makes" as it shows the action of causing something to happen. The subject is "The bright sun" since it is the one performing the action. There is no direct object, indirect object, predicate nominative, or predicate adjective in this sentence.
Remember, the direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb, while the indirect object is the noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is described in the sentence. Predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives are part of the predicate and provide additional information about the subject.
