am i right
1. compound direct object
2.object of compliment
3.object of preposition
4. compound indirect object
5. compound direct object


1. yes

2. object complement, yes

3. yes

4. yes

5. no -- "John" completes the identification of "son" (direct object) so therefore it's an object complement.
