Transcription de la présentation

  1. Direct and Indirect Objects

  2. Reminders… Subject: performs the action of the sentence. Verb: is the action of the sentence.

  3. Direct Objects: A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a transitive action verb.

  4. Examples • To find the direct object ask: • “What?” or “Whom?” OR • “For What?” or “For Whom?” • of the verb. • The old man chewed his food. • The dog dug a hole under the fence. • Alexander the Great conquered leaders in most of ancient Europe. Chewed what? Dug what? Conquered what?

  5. Identify the Direct Objects in the following sentences. • Tommy caught the flu and is at home sick. • My teacher wanted my essay. • The Seahawks played an amazing game in spite of their loss Monday night. • After class, I wrote a note. • The young girl scouts sold cookies and drinks at the football game.

  6. Indirect Objects: • An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that indirectly receives the action of a transitive action verb. It names the person to whom or for whom something is done.

  7. To find the indirect object ask: • “To Who?” or “To Whom?” OR • “For Who? or “For Whom? • of the direct object. Examples • After class I wrote her a note. • My cousin brought us freshly picked vegetables. • Loud music gives my brother headaches. Wrote what? To whom? Brought what? For who? Gives what? To whom?

  8. Identify the Indirect Objects in the following sentences. • Hannah sent me an email. • Caroline baked her family double-fudge brownies. • Ben’s sister made the team a pitcher of lemonade. • I gave the dog a dish of water. • Johnny Depp gave me his autograph.

  9. Danger Will Robinson! When the indirect object follows a preposition, it becomes the object of the preposition, and is no longer considered an indirect object. Example: Indirect Object After class I wrote her a note. Example: Prepositional Phrase After class I wrote a note to her. Since it follows the preposition to, it is the object of the preposition and NOT an indirect object.

  10. Question: Indirect Object or Object of the Preposition? • Walker gave the bone to the dog. • I tutored my sister for her math test. • On Thanksgiving, my mother prepared us a feast. • On Halloween, my family gave candy to the neighborhood children. • The middle school sent the shelter five hundred cans of food. OP OP IO OP IO

  11. Transitive Verbs Verbs which transfer their action to an object. In other words, transitive verbs have a direct object. Note: For a sentence to have an indirect object, it must always have a direct object, but a sentence can have a direct object without an indirect object.

  12. Intransitive Verbs • Verb that completes its action without an object. • Examples: • I apologized for my late assignment. • assignment is the object of the preposition for; there is • no direct object. • I explained about my sore toe. • toeis the object of the preposition about; there is no • direct object

  13. Remember… • Since a linking verb does not express an action, it is intransitive. • Apologies are wonderful. (Predicate Adjective) • My explanation was a failure. (Predicate Noun)
