Question

WHEN TO USE THE DIRECT/INDIRECT OBJECTS

Answer 1

I've noticed that many people on OS have asked what sentence contains the direct and indirect object, so that's what this tutorial is about.

Answer 2

First, we'll take a look at Direct Objects.

An easy way to find the direct object is to find the noun or pronoun RIGHT after the verb.

For example,

I like to play Super Mario.

Play is our verb, so guess what our direct object is?

That's right! Super Mario!

Answer 3

Now if I added more to that sentence,

I like to play Super Mario for the Gamecube.

Super Mario is still the direct object, but what does that make Gamecube?

Answer 4

Direct objects answer "Who?" or "What?" in a sentence.

Indirect objects answer "For who?" or "For what?"

I like to play Super Mario for the what? Gamecube.

That makes Gamecube our indirect object!
