Direct Object

A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a "transitive verb" in an active sentence or shows the result of the action.

It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb.For example:

Mary burnt the toast.

* What did Mary burn? - She burnt the toast. "toast" is the direct object

A simple direct object is only the noun or pronoun, whereas a complex direct object consists of that noun and pronoun and any modifiers that accompany it.

For example:Mary burnt the toast and the eggs.

* What did Mary burn? - She burnt the toast and the eggs. "toast" and "eggs" are the direct objects.

Indirect Object

: An indirect object precedes the direct object and tells to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object. There must be a direct object to have an indirect object. Indirect objects are usually found with verbs of giving or communicating like give, bring, tell, show, take, or offer. An indirect object is always a noun or pronoun which is not part of a prepositional phrase. Indirect objects are usually placed directly before the direct object.For example: He gave Mary a rose.

* The predicate of the above sentence consists of the transitive verb "gave," the indirect object "Mary," and the direct object "rose."

Examples

She gave me the report. * Who received the report? "Me". So "Me" is the Indirect object.

King Arthur put her sword on the table.* King Arthur is the subject; "put" is the verb; the sword is the direct object; thetable is the indirect object.
