The three objecthood properties that you can select from the list are:

  1. Appearing immediately after the verb.
    This is often a key characteristic of objects in a sentence structure, as they typically follow the verb.

  2. Appearing as an object marker on the verb.
    In many languages, verbs will have specific markings or affixes that indicate the presence of an object, further showing the object's role in the sentence.

  3. Appearing as the subject of a passive sentence.
    In passive constructions, the original object of the active sentence becomes the subject, highlighting its objecthood in its initial position.

These properties help identify and understand the role of noun phrases as objects within various grammatical frameworks.
