Review — identifying the object

The object receives the action of the verb. It answers: what? or whom?

Step-by-step

  • 1) underline the verb
  • 2) ask: what does the subject act on?

Common traps

  • prepositional phrases (to the students, in the clinic, after lunch)
  • adverbs (quickly, carefully)
  • the subject itself
If the word is inside a prepositional phrase (to / in / at / after / before), it is usually NOT the direct object.
