Answer 1

1. A direct object answers the question what? or whom? So in this case, "Grandma" is the subject, "gave" is the verb. What did grandma give? The answer will be your direct object.

2. A predicate nominative is a word that stands for the subject. Sometimes it helps me to think of it as a word that could almost replace the subject. So in this example, the "dog" is the subject and Siberian Husky is a word that stands for the subject and could almost replace the word dog. So this would be a predicate nominative.

Answer 2

1) D. direct object because he answer at the question what did grandmother gave Carlos?

2)C.predicate adjective because it describes a quality and names what is the subject.
