A Grammar Lesson: Direct and Indirect Objects. An object is the part of a sentence that gives meaning to the subjectâs action of the verb. Alice caught the baseball. A direct object answers the question of who(m) or what.
Remember, once you have found the direct object, you have to ask who (or what) received it to find the indirect object. A verb that takes a direct object is called a transitive verb. A few verbs do not have a direct object. They are known as intransitive verbs. For example: Jonathan skidded on the ice.
