Direct objects

This guide explains the concepts of direct and indirect objects in sentence structure, emphasizing their roles following action verbs. Direct objects answer the questions "what?" or "whom?" after the verb and are essential for sentence completion. Indirect objects clarify to or for whom the action is performed, situated between the action verb and direct object in a sentence. Through examples like "Rachel bought a cat" and "Ross got Meow-Meow a treat," readers will learn how to identify and diagram these objects in various sentences.
