Direct Objects A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a transitive verb (a verb that has an object) or shows the result of that action. A direct object answers the question ''What?'' or ''Whom?'' after the verb. • Mrs. Frederick taught grammar to her students. • The students begged Mrs. Frederickto learn more grammar.
Indirect Objects An indirect object is directly related to the direct object; it tells who or what is the recipient of the direct object. You cannot have an indirect object in a sentence without having a direct object first. To identify an indirect object in the sentence ask to or for whom? or to or for what? after the action verb. • Mrs. Frederick taught her students grammar.
