Pronouns:
In general, nominative pronouns are used as the subjects of a sentence, while objective pronouns are, as the name suggests, used as the objects. A subject performs an action, and an object is a recipient of an action.

Gerunds, Participials and Infinitives
A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. Since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would, for example: subject, direct object, and object of preposition.
Example
The gerund phrase functions as the object of the preposition for.
You might get in trouble for faking an illness to avoid work.
A participle is a verbal that is used as an adjective and most often ends in -ing or -ed. Since they function as adjectives, participles modify nouns or pronouns.
Example
Delores noticed her cousin walking along the shoreline.
The participial phrase functions as an adjective modifying cousin.
An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the word to plus a verb (in its simplest "stem" form) and functioning as a noun, adjective, or adverb. To + verb
Example
I have a paper to write before class.
Direct and indirect objects
A direct object answers the question "What?"
Examples:
David repaired his car - his car is the direct object of the verb repaired ( What did David repair?)
The man visited the museum - the museum is the direct object of the verb visited (what did the man visit?)
An indirect object answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?". An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise affected participant in the event. There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence. In other words an indirect object cannot exist without a direct object.
Examples:
They sent him a postcard - him is the indirect object of the verb sent.
(To whom did they send a postcard?)
He bought his son a bike - his son is the indirect object of the verb bought.
(For whom he bought a bike?)
Predicate Nouns
Predicate noun is a word that is used in place of a subject noun.
Since Caroline is a good girl, she always does her homework.
Caroline-subject
girl- predicate noun
Caroline=girl
If you are a conscientious student, you will give the teacher your attention.
You-subject
student-predicate noun
You=student
