Question
her hobby is working on the engine of her classic car.
subject
direct object
predicate nominative
To determine the correct term, we analyze the sentence structure. The subject is "Her hobby", the direct object would be a noun receiving the action (but here "working on...car" is a gerund phrase as a subject complement). A predicate nominative (or predicate noun) follows a linking verb ("is") and renames the subject. The gerund phrase "working on the engine of her classic car" renames "hobby", so it's a predicate nominative.
