Verbs with direct
and indirect objects
What is an object?
An object in grammar is a part of a sentence,
and often part of the predicate. It refers to
someone or something involved in
the subject's "performance" of the verb. It is
what the verb is being done to. There are two
types of objects: direct and indirect objects
Direct object
• A direct object answers the question "what?" or "whom?"
• Examples:
• David repaired his car → his car is the direct object of the verb
repaired. ( What did David repair?)
• He sends Mary an e-mail→ e-mail is the direct object of the verb send.
(What does he send?)
Indirect Object
• An indirect object answers the question "to whom?", "for whom?"
• An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise
affected participant in the event. There must be a direct object for an indirect
object to be placed in a sentence. In other words an indirect object cannot
exist without a direct object.
• Examples:
• They sent him a postcard - him is the indirect object of the verb sent. (To
whom did they send a postcard?)
• He bought his son a bike - his son is the indirect object of the verb bought.
(For whom did he buy a bike?)
The waiter gives Wendy a glass of water.
Linking verbs
Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they
connect the subject  of the verb to additional
information about the subject. Look at the examples
below:
I smell the delicious aroma of a mushroom and
papaya pizza baking in the oven.
My dog Oreo feels depressed after seven straight
days of rain.
 You look exhausted after studying all night.
