Transcript text: What kind of word is the pronoun in bold letters? Did he tell you that Tom believed it? A. Subject B. Direct object C. Predicate nominative
Solution
Answer
The answer is A. Subject
Explanation
Option A: Subject
In the sentence "Did he tell you that Tom believed it?", the pronoun "he" is in bold. The pronoun "he" is the subject of the verb "tell." It is the one performing the action of telling, which makes it the subject of the sentence.
Option B: Direct object
A direct object receives the action of the verb. In this sentence, "you" is the direct object of the verb "tell," as it is the entity being told something. Therefore, "he" is not the direct object.
Option C: Predicate nominative
A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject. In this sentence, there is no linking verb that connects "he" to a predicate nominative. Therefore, "he" is not a predicate nominative.
