Object vs Complement In grammar, the difference between an object and a complement is that an object receives the action of a verb, while a complement describes or renames a noun or pronoun:  Object A noun that receives the action of a verb. For example, in the sentence "Muaz showed us his photography", "photography" is the direct object.  In English grammar, there are two types of objects: Direct object: A noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb.
