Talking Points
- Direct Object: "A direct object receives the action of the verb. It answers the question 'What?' or 'Whom?' after the verb."
- Indirect Object: "An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. It answers the question 'To whom?' or 'For whom?' after the verb."
- Identifying Direct Object: "Look for the verb in the sentence, then ask 'What?' or 'Whom?' to find the direct object."
- Identifying Indirect Object: "After finding the direct object, ask 'To whom?' or 'For whom?' to identify the indirect object."
