Object

https://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/sentencetext.html#Object

Some verbs have an object (always a noun or pronoun). The object is the person or thing affected by the action described in the verb.

Objects come in two types, direct and indirect.

The direct object refers to a person or thing affected by the action of the verb.

For example:

  • “He opened the door. “- here the door is the direct object as it is the thing being affected by the verb to open.

The indirect object refers to a person or thing who receives the direct object.

For example:

  • ” I gave him the book.” – here him (he)is the indirect object as he is the beneficiary of the action.
