Any ideas?  So Who is the subject; Told is the verb; if you can answer what or whom after the verb then you have the direct object...So what do you think?

tjbrew · Answer

So how do you think "you" is functioning in this sentence?

tjbrew · Answer

@MeglovesRyan02 Are you there?

anonymous · Answer

tjbrew · Answer

So what do you think?

anonymous · Answer

i'm not sure

anonymous · Answer

subject?

tjbrew · Answer

Did you ask yourself, "Who told what or whom?

tjbrew · Answer

What is the answer to that question?

tjbrew · Answer

If you can answer what or whom after the verb then that "word" is the DIRECT OBJECT.  What do you think now?  ;)

tjbrew · Answer

Remember,  Who is the subject; Told is the verb

anonymous · Answer

huh i'm confused now

anonymous · Answer

i said subject

tjbrew · Answer

and that is wrong because who is the subject

tjbrew · Answer

Since "who" is the subject that me3ans that "you" cannot be the subject.

anonymous · Answer

okay

anonymous · Answer

direct object

tjbrew · Answer

Yes!!! You got it!! :)

tjbrew · Answer

I hope you know that I was trying to explain it so that you understood why 'You" was the direct object and so in the future, you would be able to find it again when I am not here...
