A noun!Actually, that is true most of the time. Technically, it could be a noun -- or it could be an adjective.Direct objects answer the questions "What?" or "Whom?" relative to an action verb. Predicate adjectives or predicate nominatives (nouns) answer the questions "What?" or "Whom?" about a linking verb.Take for example the sentences below:George threw the ball.What did George throw? The ball. Ball is the direct object.George is a teacher.Whom is George? A teacher. Teacher is a predicate nominative (noun) because it renames George and answers the question "whom?"George is skillful.What is George? Skillful. Skillful is a predicate adjective because it describes George and answers the question "what?"
