Two Types of Object Pronouns• There are two types of object pronouns: Direct
and indirect• Direct Object Pronouns (DOPNs) answer the
question “Who or what is receiving the action of the verb?”
• Indirect Object Pronouns (IDOPNs) answer the question "To whom?" or "For whom?" the action of the verb is performed. It tells us where the DOPN is going.
