The document discusses direct objects, which are nouns or pronouns that receive the action of a transitive verb. It provides instructions on how to identify direct objects by first finding the subject and verb, then looking for the noun receiving the verb's action. An example identifies "apple baby food" as the direct object that is being given by the subject in the sentence "The boy gave Suzy apple baby food."

Subject predicate object ppt
This document provides an overview of subject, predicate, and object for a 7th grade grammar unit. It defines the subject as the noun doing the action, the predicate as the verb or action, and the object as the noun receiving the action. Examples are given for each. The document then practices identifying these parts in sample sentences and distinguishes between direct and indirect objects. It provides multiple practice problems for students to identify the subject, predicate, and object(s) in various sentences.
Indirect Objects Embed
Indirect objects identify who or what receives the direct object of a sentence. They usually appear with verbs of giving or communicating, such as give, bring, tell, show, take, or offer. To identify the indirect object, find the direct object and then ask "to whom/for whom" is the direct object being verb-ed. In the example sentence "The boy gave Suzy apple baby food", the direct object is "apple baby food" and the indirect object is "Suzy", as she is the one receiving the food.
Direct indirect-objects
The document defines and provides examples of direct objects and indirect objects in sentences. A direct object receives the action of a verb and can be found by asking "whom?" or "what?" about the verb. An indirect object tells to whom or for whom the action is performed, and there must be a direct object as well for a sentence to have an indirect object. Only action verbs can take direct and indirect objects; linking verbs do not.
Direct & indirect objects
This document defines and provides examples of direct objects and indirect objects in sentences. A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb and answers who or what is being acted upon. An indirect object precedes the direct object and identifies to whom or for whom the direct object is being given or done. Examples are provided to identify the subject, verb, direct object, and indirect object in sentences.
Direct indirect object
This document discusses direct and indirect object pronouns and word order. It explains that some verbs can have two objects, usually a thing as the direct object and a person as the indirect object. It notes that if the direct object is a noun, the usual word order is verb + indirect object + direct object, and if the direct object is a pronoun, the usual word order is verb + direct object + indirect object with "for" or "to" before the indirect object. The document provides examples to illustrate these points.
GRAMMAR
The document discusses various types of verbs including: transitive verbs which connect subjects to direct objects; past, present, and future tense verbs which indicate when actions occur; direct objects which receive the action of verbs; linking verbs which connect subjects to nouns or adjectives; intransitive verbs which do not have direct objects; predicate adjectives and nouns which describe or rename subjects; helping verbs which assist main verbs; and verb phrases which contain helping verbs followed by main verbs. The document provides definitions and examples of these verb terms and checks the user's understanding through interactive questions and feedback.

phrasal verbs,
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb that creates a new meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, requiring a direct object, or intransitive, not requiring an object. Examples of intransitive phrasal verbs include "grew up", "will talk", and "jumping". Transitive phrasal verbs have a direct object, like "put off the meeting" and "came across my old school reports". Phrasal verbs can also be separable, where the object comes between the verb and particle, or inseparable, where the object follows the particle.
Presente perfecto
This document discusses using time expressions with the present perfect tense. It explains that the present perfect is used to indicate an action that has occurred at some point before now, without specifying the exact time. Various time expressions like "in the last week" or "so far" can be used to limit the time period being referred to. Examples are also provided of how the present perfect is used with unfinished time periods, without a specific time mentioned, for recent actions, and with the words "for" and "since".
Indirect Object Pronoun
This document discusses indirect object pronouns in Spanish.

1. A sentence consists of one or more words that express a complete thought, and contains a subject and predicate. The subject is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate contains a verb that describes the subject.
2. There are different sentence patterns that determine how the subject, verb, object, and other elements are arranged. Common patterns include subject-verb, subject-verb-direct object, subject-verb-indirect object-direct object.
3. Sentences can be transformed in various ways like changing from active to passive voice, interrogative to affirmative, negative or emphatic forms through grammatical techniques like modifying verbs. This allows writing sentences with more complexity and emphasis.
parts of a sentence
This document discusses the key parts of a sentence, including the subject, verb, and sentence complements. It explains that the subject is the who or what completing the action, and the verb can show either mental or physical action. Action verbs can take direct objects and indirect objects as complements, while linking verbs take predicate nouns or predicate adjectives. It provides examples and tests to determine whether a verb is being used as an action verb or linking verb, and which type of complement it takes.
My verbs
There are three types of verbs: action verbs, helping verbs, and linking verbs. Action verbs express physical or mental actions like jump, coughed, ran. Helping verbs work with the main verb and include verbs like could, can, must. Linking verbs connect the subject to a predicate noun or adjective like feel, seem, appear. Verbs can also be categorized by tense, with present tense verbs expressing current actions, past tense verbs expressing past actions, and future tense verbs expressing future actions.

Verbs express actions, states of being, or conditions. There are several types of verbs including action verbs, linking verbs, helping verbs, and verbs that indicate tense such as present, past, or future. Action verbs show physical or mental actions, while linking verbs connect subjects to predicates by expressing a state of being. Helping verbs help express shades of meaning along with a main verb. Verbs can also be transitive or intransitive, with transitive verbs taking direct objects and intransitive verbs not.
Verbs
This document discusses different types of verbs including main verbs, linking verbs, modal verbs, and irregular verbs. It explains that main verbs show action and linking verbs link subjects to predicates that identify what they are. Modal verbs show likelihood, ability, permission and obligation. Irregular verbs change spelling in different tenses while regular verbs add -ed or -d. The document also defines direct objects, indirect objects, and subject complements and provides examples of each.
All About Verbs (Brief Summary)
Verbs can express actions or states and come in several types including action, linking, and auxiliary verbs. Action verbs are either transitive or intransitive depending on whether they take a direct object, while linking verbs connect the subject to additional information about it. Subject-verb agreement dictates that the verb must match the subject in number, with singular subjects taking singular verbs and plural subjects taking plural verbs.
Types of Verbs
Verbs express actions, states of being, or conditions. There are different types of verbs including action verbs, linking verbs, helping verbs, present/past/future tense verbs, transitive verbs, and intransitive verbs. Verbs tell what the subject does or is. Key types are action verbs which show physical or mental actions, linking verbs which link the subject to a predicate expressing a state of being, and helping verbs which help express meaning along with a main verb.

Transitive and intransitive
The document discusses transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb has a direct object that receives the action of the verb, while an intransitive verb does not have a direct object. To determine if a verb is transitive or intransitive, ask what or whom after the verb. If there is a direct object, the verb is transitive; if there is no direct object, the verb is intransitive. Examples are provided to illustrate transitive verbs like "wrote" and "shook" as well as intransitive verbs like "applauded" and "shook." Verbs are complex but essential to sentences.
