I read Step 3 – Object or Complement for 6 mins and took 15 minutes to write this post.

### Step 3 – Object or Complement

> In action sentences, the subject does an action to the object.

Ok, I see how the verb, subject, and object are related. Like the subject does the action on the object.

> _I threw a red ball._

_I_ in the sentence does the action _threw_ and the _ball_ is what receives the throwing action. I think I get it intuitively, but if I think too much about it I can’t think it through.

> The _complement_ is a _noun or adjective_ which is linked to.

Good to know that the complement can be a noun or adjective. It makes sense that it can be an adjective cuz it’s linked to a noun.

> The word “complement” is related to the word “complete”. It’s a completer. If you said “The house is”, that would be an incomplete thought.

I looked up the word complement and it helped to get the quote above better. I know that complement is related to the word complete, but seeing the word used in a sentence in a dictionary helped me understand it more.

> **Finding the object or complement** is step three. Look to the _right_ of the verb. Finding that there is no object is fine too.

Ok, step three is find the object or complement. Sometimes there are no objects but there is always a complement if it’s a linking sentence.
