4 and 10 are now correct.
For number 3, predicate nouns follow linking verbs and mean the same as the subject. But started is not a linking verb, so the gerund phrase can't be a PN.
Write the gerund phrase in each sentence. Then indicate whether the phrase functions as a subject (S), an object of preposition (OP), a direct object (DO), an indirect object (IO), or a predicate nominative (PN).
Are these Correct?!
