Object of a sentence and its Types --- Easy English Grammar Notes

Object:

It receives an action in a sentence. It often creates the question of what and whom. 

Note: Students often confuse Objects with Adverbs. It must be noted that an adverb is a part of speech while an Object is a part of a sentence. 

The object creates the question of WHAT and WHOM and answers them. While Adverb creates the question of WHERE, WHEN, HOW, HOW OFTEN, TO WHAT EXTENT.

Example: 

 1.

I

taught

Whom?

Ali.

 2.

Our friends

bought

What?

books.

3.

Ali

play

What?

cricket.


KINDS OF OBJECT:


Direct objects and indirect objects


There are two different types of objects: 

1. direct objects 

2. indirect objects. 


1. direct objects 

A direct object is, as its name suggests, directly affected by the action of the main verb. 


Example: 

Subjects

Verb

Direct Objects

 1.

He

bought

a drink

 2.

He

was reading

a story.

In the above two sentences, 'a drink' and 'a story' are direct objects: 'a drink' was bought and 'a story' was being read.


1. direct objects 

An indirect object is usually a person or thing that benefits in some way from the action of the main verb.

Example: 

1. He told me.                "me" is the direct object.

2. He told a story.          "a story" is the direct object.

3. He told me a story.     "me" is an indirect object and "a                                                                     story" is the direct object.

Object Complement: 

An object complement follows a direct object.


Example: 

Subjects

Objects Complement

 1.

 2.
