Answers
Answer:
The direct object is the receiver of the action mentioned in the sentence.
John hit the ball. (Direct object: the ball)
Be careful to distinguish between a direct object and an object complement.
They named the boy Christopher.
In this sentence ‘boy’ is the direct object and ‘Christopher’ is the object complement.
The object complement is a word that describes the object.
They elected him their mayor.
Object – him; object complement – mayor
The indirect object identifies the person/thing for whom/what the action of the verb is performed.
The indirect object is usually a person or thing.
Study the examples given below.
My mother bought me a necklace. (Indirect object – me; direct object – necklace)
John told Peter a story. (Indirect object – Peter; direct object – story)
Hope this helps you.
