greatly
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
No, the verb is the action the subject takes. What does the pitcher do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
helped the team
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
Here's an example of the simplest possible sentence: <subject> <verb>
Bob farted.
Bob is the subject, farted is the verb.
In your sentence, the pitcher is the subject. Helped is the verb. The direct object is what he helped.
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
Bob threw the ball. Bob is subject, threw is verb, ball is direct object.

subject:passed the salt and pepper
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
"passed the salt and pepper" did something? Doesn't sound like a subject to me. What about this "I" character mentioned up top?
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
I is the subject. Passed is the verb (action). What did I pass?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to Louisa at the far end of the table.
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
No, that's where I passed it. What did I pass?

indirect object i!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
Ms. Levine is the subject. Handed is the verb/action. Lisa is the direct object (she got something handed to her). The indirect object is what she was handed.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so A
OpenStudy (whpalmer4):
sorry, got that backwards. Lisa is the indirect object — it was handed to her. The direct object is something.
