Dear Student,
Object of verb is usually a noun or a pronoun that is on the receiving end of the action of the verb. It may also be a noun clause.The verb is usually followed by the object it is acting on.
Examples: They threw the stones. (threw-verb, stones-object)
Tell me what you want. (tell-verb, what you want-object)
Nobody knows who he is. (knows-verb, who he is-object)
Object of preposition is a noun, pronoun or gerund (verb acting as noun) that follows a preposition. It may also be a noun clause. It is related through the preposition to the rest of the sentence.
Examples: They will arrive at noon. (at-preposition, noon-object)
There is no point in what he says. (in-preposition, what he says-object)
Pay attention to what I am saying. (to-preposition, what I am saying-object)
Complement of verb of incomplete predication is the word or phrase or clause that completes the verb as the predicate in the sentence. In a sentence, noun clause can also be the complement of verb. These follow verbs like is, am, are, was, were.
Examples: This is where I live. (is-verb, where I live-noun clause)
Her belief was that the infant might live. (was-verb, that the infant might live-noun clause)
Hope this clears your doubts. In case of further explanation, post your query separately.
