Explanation:
1. Mom made Lauren a new dress.
Subject--Verb--Indirect Object--Direct Object
Lauren is the indirect object of the verb made. A new dress is the direct object.
This is a typical pattern where the Indirect object comes before the direct object without using a preposition.
2. Nancy is the class president this year.
Subject--Linking Verb--Predicate Noun
The subject is Nancy. The verb to be is a linking verb ie it just connects the subject to its predicate Noun: the class president
3.God created the firmament.
Subject--Verb--Direct Object. This is a clear example of a typical pattern in English. God (doer/subject), did(created) something (direct object) in this case the firmament.
4. The name of the first man was Adam.
Subject--Linking Verb--Predicate Noun
Here the subject is a bit longer: the name of the first man. Next, the linking verb was(be) connect to its predicative Proper Noun Adam.
