The noun 'legend' can function as the subject of a sentence or a clause, as the object of a verb or a preposition, and a predicate noun (also called a subject complement).
Examples:
That legend has been around for a century. (subject of the sentence)
The woman that the legend portrays was a real person. (subject of the relative clause)
Our guide explained the legend of the mansion. (direct object of the verb 'explained)
This cemetery is the site of the ghost legend. (object of the preposition 'of')
His escapades are a legend at the fraternity house. (predicate noun; escapades = legend)
A legend can be either the subject or the object of a preposition, depending on its role in the sentence. If it is the main focus of the sentence, it is more likely to be the subject. However, if it is being acted upon or related to something else, it could be the object of a preposition. It is less common for a legend to be used as a predicate noun, as it is usually the subject or object in a sentence.
A predicate nominative renames the subject of a sentence, while a predicate adjective describes the subject. Predicate nominatives: "He is a doctor." (doctor renames he) Predicate adjectives: "She is happy." (happy describes she) An object of a preposition is a noun that follows a preposition in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She went to the store," "store" is the object of the preposition "to" because it is the noun that relates to the preposition by showing the destination.
A prepositional phrase is not typically a predicate noun. In a sentence, a predicate noun (or predicate nominative) follows a linking verb and renames the subject, while a prepositional phrase serves as an adjective or adverb to provide more information about the subject or verb.
No, the object of a preposition cannot be the subject of a sentence. The object of a preposition is a noun or pronoun that comes after a preposition in a sentence. The subject of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.
To determine whether a sentence contains a predicate pronoun or subject pronoun, it is essential to identify the subject and the predicate. A subject pronoun acts as the subject of the sentence, while a predicate pronoun acts as the complement of the subject. For example, in the sentence "She is a doctor," 'She' is the subject pronoun, and 'doctor' is the predicate noun.
No, predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives typically follow linking verbs (e.g., "is," "seem," "feel") to describe the subject directly, rather than be part of a prepositional phrase. Prepositional phrases are used to show relationships between nouns/pronouns and other words in a sentence.
A predicate nominative renames the subject of a sentence, while a predicate adjective describes the subject. Predicate nominatives: "He is a doctor." (doctor renames he) Predicate adjectives: "She is happy." (happy describes she) An object of a preposition is a noun that follows a preposition in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She went to the store," "store" is the object of the preposition "to" because it is the noun that relates to the preposition by showing the destination.
An object of the preposition is a noun that ends the prepositional phrase as in the following sentence: She looked at the nurse. The prepositional phrase is "at the nurse." The preposition is "at" and the objective if the preposition is "nurse." A predicate nominative follows a linking verb and renames the subject as in the following sentence: My sister is a nurse. The linking verb is "is" and the predicate nominative is "nurse" which renames the subject "sister."
A = article multitude = subject (noun) of = preposition the = article heavenly = adjective hosts = object of the preposition was = predicate (verb) with = preposition the - article angel - object of the preposition
We = subject should show = predicate generosity - direct object to = preposition our = possessive adjective neighbor = object of the preposition
Pilate = subject wrote = predicate an = article inscription = direct object on = preposition the = article cross = object of the preposition
A noun is a thing or idea as a part of speech. It can be a predicate noun, a direct object, a preposition object, a subject, and more. A predicate noun is a noun that follows a linking verb to describe the subject (e.g. The bird is a crow (where "crow" is the predicate noun)). A direct object is the thing that receives the action (verb) committed by the subject (e.g. The bird killed the man ("man" is the direct object)). A prepositional object is whatever noun with which the preposition is describing a relation (e.g. The bird is below the cloud (where "cloud" is the object if the preposition "below")). A subject is whatever noun is committing the action or predicate (e.g. The bird killed the man ("bird" is the subject)).
A prepositional phrase is not typically a predicate noun. In a sentence, a predicate noun (or predicate nominative) follows a linking verb and renames the subject, while a prepositional phrase serves as an adjective or adverb to provide more information about the subject or verb.

The word 'music' is a noun.A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb (direct or indirect) or a preposition. A noun also functions as a predicate nominative.Examples:The music from the block party filled the neighborhood. (subject of the sentence)I couldn't decide which music to play. (subject of the relative clause)I heard music coming from his room. (direct object of the verb 'heard')Grandma tapped her foot to the music. (object of the preposition 'to')The manager's compliment was music to my ears. (predicate nominative)
Subject predicate.
No, a predicate adjective can't be in the form of a prepositional phrase because an adjective can't be the object of a preposition. An adjective can be part of a prepositional phrase when it is describing the noun object of the preposition. Example: Mary is in a big hurry. (the object of the preposition is the noun 'hurry', the predicate nominative; the adjective 'big' describes the noun 'hurry')
