object of the preposition

example

I put the pizza on (preposition) the table (object).

grammarbookcom

subject complement examples

the box (subject) is a present (subject complement)

the socks (subject) smell bad (subject complement)

subject complement describes the thing

grammarmonstercom

verb complement examples

i want (verb) good food (verb complement)

i threw (verb) the ball (verb complement)

if you just "i want" or "i threw" a person might ask what? what did you want or what did you throw...verb complement answers that question...good food or the ball

direct object example

the cat caught (verb) a mouse (direct object)

direct object says who did what

indirect object example

he gave me (indirect object) the book (direct object)

he gave her (indirect object) a table (direct object)

so you can say it indirectly

object complement

I found his room (direct object) very messy (object complement)

The comedian kept the crowd (direct object) entertained (object complement)

object complement describes the main thing

main thing is the direct object

messy room

entertained crowd
