3. Syntactic function of NP

- Subjects are words, phrases, and clauses that perform the action of or act upon the verb.
- A direct object refers to the person or thing affected by the action of the verb. It comes
immediately after a transitive verb:
Eg : I like swimming.
- An indirect object usually refers to the person who “benefits” from the action expressed in the
verb
An indirect object precedes the direct and tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done
and who is receiving the direct object
Eg: He had given the girl (Oi) an apple.
- A Subject complement is the adjective, noun, pronoun that follows a linking verb and
gives/provides further information about the subject or the object. In other words, subject
complement completes the meaning of the subject:
Eg: Lan is now a student (Cs) at Thang Long University
He is a singer
- An object complement is a noun, pronoun, or adjective which follows a direct object and
renames it or tells what the direct object has become. It is most often used with verbs of creating or
nominating such as make, name, elect, paint, call…
The 'object complement' can be explained as having a similar relation to a direct object (which it
follows) as the subject complement has to a sub¬ject:
Eg: His action made her girlfriend (Od) very sad (Co)
