Direct and Indirect Objects

• Direct and Indirect Objects Complete the
  meaning begun by the subject and verb

• Subject Verb Direct and Indirect Objects

Action verbs and direct objects

• DIRECT OBJECT Follows an action verb and
  receives the action from the verb
• Direct Objects are NEVER in prepositional phrases
•  
• AVDO Action Verb Direct Object
• FACT- Action verbs that have direct objects are
  called transitive verbs. Any verbs that do not
  have direct objects are called intransitive verbs.

• Sally ate the cake and drank the milk.

INDIRECT OBJECT

• Precedes the direct object and tells to whom, to
  what, or for what the action of the verb is done.
  An indirect object is NEVER in a prepositional
  phrase.

• Subject Action Verb D. O. to
  whom I.O.
• for whom
• to what
• for what

  verb and a direct object.

  with a vertical line in between them (this DOES
  NOT go through the horizontal line!)
• She baked lasagna
• Indirect objects will go under the verb with a
  diagonal line connecting them
• She baked lasagna
