Some eighth-grade girls stole
a pencil case. |
|
Subj.
V. Comp. |
|
The compliment in this sentence functions as an indirect
object which points out what the girls stole. Normally,
students must be able to tell a transitive or
intransitive verb in order that they can decide a series
of words after the main verb to be object or subordinate
clause. The sentence below is made in similar pattern: |
|
The pencil case
belonged to a new classmate. |
|
Subj.
V.
Comp. |
In this case, ¡§a new classmate¡¨ as the compliment in the
sentence indicates who owned the pencil case. Therefore,
¡§a new classmate¡¨ is the indirect object to represent
the recipient of the action ¡§belong to¡¨ as ownership of
the pencil case. The same pattern is used to describe
another feature about the pencil case. |
|
The pencil case was filled
with makeup. |
|
Subj.
V.
Comp. |
In this case, ¡§makeup¡¨ as a noun is an indirect object
to describe what was inside the pencil case. The phrase
¡§was filled with¡¨ implies an action of putting things
into a container; therefore, ¡§makeup¡¨ is the object
placed after the verbal phrase ¡§was filled with¡¨ to
indicate what was put into the pencil case. |
