Objects & Their Types

An object receives the action of a verb. A direct object answers what?/whom?; an indirect object answers to/for whom?

She gave him (indirect) a book (direct).

I sent my friend (indirect) a letter (direct).

He kicked the ball (direct).

The indirect object (the receiver) usually comes first; the direct object (the thing) comes after.

Common mistake: Mixing them up. In "She gave him a book," him = indirect (receiver), a book = direct (the thing given).

✏️ Test Yourself

1. He kicked the ball.

2. She told me a story.

3. They built a house.

4. I gave her a gift.
