is the Noun function direct object?

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

I'm pretty sure you know what the gerund phrase is. (pleasure is giving) The direct object comes DIRECTLY after the verb, so it's the direct object.

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

IS is an irregular verb

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Yep, it's a direct object

OpenStudy (anonymous):
