Direct objects are nouns or pronouns that receive the action of the verb. They follow action verbs.

Examples:

Shirley hit <u>him</u>.
I like <u>chocolate</u>.
Logan is practicing the <u>guitar</u>.

Subject complements are nouns or adjectives that mean the same as or describe the subject. They follow linking verbs.

Our teacher is <u>brilliant</u>.
Mr. Jones was <u>sick</u>.
Steve and Joe are great football <u>players</u>.
