Is a legend or subject or object of preposition or noun as predicate noun?

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)


What is the distinction between a phrase and a sentence?

A sentence requires a subject and predicate. That means a noun and a verb that are in agreement with one another (in terms of singular and plural). A phrase is not a complete sentence. It is a little group of words that go together and function together in some way.Here is a very short but complete sentence:She laughs.You have a subject (a pronoun, which stands "for" ["pro"] a noun) and a verb that agrees with it--that is, both are singular.Here is a very long phrase that is not a complete sentence. This happens to be a prepositional phrase because it begins with a preposition ("in") and ends with the object of the preposition (the noun "house"). All the rest is description of the noun at the end.in the large, ramshackle, isolated, abandoned, and allegedly haunted house(You would not really write like this, we hope, but it would be a correct and grammatical phrase if you did.)If you have a subject and a verb that make a complete sentence, you can't call it a phrase. If all you have is a phrase, you don't have a sentence.


What is the difference between subjective objective and possessive pronouns?

A nominative is a noun or a pronoun that functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as predicate nominative. examples:Bobby went to the mall. (the noun 'Bobby' is the subject of the sentence)He wanted to buy some new shoes. (the pronoun 'he' is the subject of the sentence)A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or restates the subject. examples:Bobby is my best friend. (the noun 'friend' renames the subject noun 'Bobby')The friend I met at the mall was he. (the pronoun 'he' restates the subject noun 'friend'; note that a pronoun functioning as a predicate nominative is always the subjective case)An objective is a noun or a pronoun that functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.examples:I threw a ball. (the noun 'ball' is the direct object of the verb 'threw')I threw it to Bobby. (the pronoun 'it' is the direct object of the verb 'threw; the noun 'Bobby' is the object of the preposition 'to')A possessive noun is a noun that shows that something in the sentence belongs to that noun. A possessive noun is indicated by an apostrophe s ('s) or just an apostrophe (') added to the end of the noun.example: Bobby's house is on this street.There are two types of pronouns that show possession.A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.example: The house with the green door is his.A possessive adjective is placed before a noun to show that the noun belongs to someone or something.example: His house has the green door.

What are all the simple predicates?

A sentence is made up of a subject and a predicate. A predicate is a verb and 'everything else'. I'm not sure what you mean by a simple predicate but a predicate could just be a verb e.g. I ran or I ran away or it could be a sentence with a verb and an object e.g. I saw him or I left the house.
