What about these functions of nouns?
Subject
The who or what the sentence is about.
Ex. Donatello is my favorite Ninja Turtle.
Every sentence must have a subject, even if
it’s an understood subject.
Ex. Take out the trash.
As this is a command, the subject is
understood to be you.
Direct Object
The who or what that receives the action of
the verb.
Ex. I hit my brother.
Direct Objects must be in a sentence with
an action verb.
Ex. My brother told my mom.
Indirect Object
The who or what that receives the direct
object.
Ex. I threw my cousin a frisbee.
(Notice that I didn’t throw my cousin)
Indirect Objects must be in a sentence with
a direct object.
Ex. I sold my sister a gift card.
(Notice that I didn’t sell my sister)
Object of a preposition
The who or what that is tied to the
prepositional phrase.
Ex. I bought the gift card at Target.
Objects of the preposition can only be
objects of the preposition. It cannot also be
a subject, direct object, indirect object, etc.
Ex. At Target I met the girl of my dreams.
(Notice that Target is not the subject)
Predicate Noun
The who or what that renames or describes
the subject.
Ex. My brother is a veterinarian.

an linking verb.
Ex. The Vaulx family is a family with eight
cats.
