Question

what is direct object and indirect object​

Answer 1

The direct object is the thing that the subject acts upon, so in that last sentence, “cereal” is the direct object; it's the thing Jake ate. ... An indirect object is an optional part of a sentence; it's the recipient of an action.

Answer 2

A direct object receives the action of the verb. An indirect object is indirectly affected by the action of a verb. 'Direct object pronouns' and 'indirect object pronouns' are the words you use to replace the direct and indirect objects of a sentence.
