I can identify subjects, predicates, direct objects, and indirect objects in complex sentences.
- 1
The subject of a sentence is a noun or pronoun that performs the verb.

A direct object is the main thing in the sentence that is acted upon, while an indirect object signifies the recipient of something.

In the sentence 'Wanda gave Louie a gift card,' Wanda is the subject, gift card is the direct object, and Louie is the indirect object.
