Direct Objects
Finding Direct Object (1) 1. Find action verb 2. Ask “who?” or “what?” after the action verb. Example: Sandy sings a song. 1. Action verb? = Sings 2. Sang who? Sing what? = a song
Direct Object Example: They visited Kuta Beach. 1. Action verb? = Visited 2. Visited who? Visited what? = Kuta Beach That means that “Kuta Beach” is the direct object.
Finding Direct Object (2) • Direct objects can also be compound. → Key: conjunctions: “and,” “but,” or “or” connecting the two compounds. Example: We met Mary and Mark at the supermarket. 1. Action verb? = Met 2. Saw who? Saw what? Mary and Mark It means that both Mary, Mark are direct objects.
Finding Direct Objects (3) • In a question, sentence parts are inverted. That means they are not in their usual location. In a question, one of two things may happen: 1. The direct object may appear before the verb 2. The direct object may be an interrogative pronoun that takes the place of the actual direct object. (The interrogative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, and what.)
Finding Direct Objects (4) Interrogative Sentence Example: Which coat did you bring to school? 1. Action verb? = Did bring 2. Did bring who? Did bring what? = coat
Finding Direct Object (5) • Example: What did you buy at the mall? 1. The action verb is did buy. 2. Did buy who? Did buy what? We don’t know what was bought. However, there is an interrogative pronoun that could have taken the place of what was bought. That interrogative pronoun is the direct object
