    What Is a Direct Object?

    Direct objects identify what or who receives the action of a transitive verb in a clause or sentence. When pronouns function as direct objects, they customarily take the form of the objective case (me, us, him, her, them, whom, and whomever). Consider the following sentences, taken from “Charlotte’s Web,” by E.B. White:

    She closed the carton carefully. First she kissed her father, then she kissed her mother. Then she opened the lid again, lifted the pig out, and held it against her cheek.”
    There’s only one subject in this passage, yet there are six direct objects (carton, father, mother, lid, pig, it), five nouns and a pronoun. Gerunds (verbs ending in “ing” that act as nouns) sometimes also serve as direct objects. For example:

    Jim enjoys gardening on the weekends.
    My mother included reading and baking in her list of hobbies.

    Additional Information

    A direct object is the noun or pronoun being acted upon by a verb (i.e., it receives the verb’s action).

    For example:

    Lee eats cakes.

    (The verb is “eats.” The noun “cakes” is the direct object because it receives the verb’s action.)

    The seagull pecked the shark’s fin.

    (The verb is “pecked.” The noun phrase “the shark’s fin” is the direct object because it received the verb’s action.)

    Examples

    Play the guitar.
    Every actor played his part.
    The crowd will cheer the President.
    We can climb the hill and fly the kite.

    How to find the direct object

    Find the verb and ask what? (or whom?).

    For example:

    She fed the cat.
    (Step 1. Find the verb = fed)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = the cat)

    (Therefore, the direct object is the cat.)

    Craig will read the book tomorrow.
    (Step 1. Find the verb = will read)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = the book)
    (Therefore, the direct object is the book.)

    Phrases and Clauses As Direct Objects

    Direct objects aren’t always just one word;
    sometimes they are entire phrases or even clauses.

    These phrases always act collectively as nouns:

    • standard noun phrases
    • relative clauses (clauses that begin with a relative pronoun like “what”)
    • gerund phrases (noun phrases that start with gerunds)

    examples:

    The foul ball hit a car parked outside. (clause as direct object)

    Don’t forget what your mother said. (relative clause as direct object)

    English professors love naming every tiny word in a sentence. (gerund phrase)

    Everyone wants to eat later. (infinitive as direct object)

    more examples:

    Toby loves cooking scones. // gerund phrase as direct object

    (Step 1. Find the verb = loves)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = cooking scones)
    (Therefore, the direct object is cooking scones.)

    She thought that the contract had ended. // relative clause as direct object
    (Step 1. Find the verb = thought)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = that the contract had ended)

    (Therefore, the direct object is that the contract had ended.)

    The constable described what he saw at the scene. // relative clause as direct object
    (Step 1. Find the verb = described)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = what he saw at the scene)
    (Therefore, the direct object is what he saw at the scene.)

    The cat wants to eat our goldfish. // infinitive phrase as direct object

    (Step 1. Find the verb = wants)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = to eat our goldfish)

    (Therefore, the direct object is to eat our goldfish.)

    (Note: This direct object has its own verb with its own direct object.
    (Question: to eat what? Answer: our goldfish.))

    When a verb has a direct object, it is called a transitive verb

    Some verbs do not have a direct object. They are known as intransitive verbs.

    For example:

    Malcolm fell very badly.

    (Step 1. Find the verb = fell)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = Nothing. You can’t fall something.)

    (Therefore, there is no direct object. The verb to fall is intransitive.)
    Joan is sleeping at the moment.

    (Step 1. Find the verb = sleeping)
    (Step 2. Ask What? = Nothing. You can’t sleep something.)

    (Therefore, there is no direct object. The verb to sleep is intransitive.)

    Direct Objects vs Complements (linking verbs)

    With a linking verb, its a bit different.

    If you ask what? with a linking verb, you will find that a verb complement is not a direct object.

    For example:
    Peter is happy.
    (Step 1. Find the verb = is)

    (Step 2. Ask What? = happy.)

    (However, on this occasion, happy is not the direct object, it’s an adjective. This is because is (i.e., the verb to be) is a linking verb.)

    However, linking verb can be followed by a direct object to form a transitive sentence:

    Read about linking verbs here

    What can be Direct Objects?

    nouns, pronouns, noun phrase, infinitives, infinitive phrases, and clauses CAN.

    Prepositional phrases CANNOT

    Besides clauses and nouns, here are other grammatical units that can act as direct objects:

    Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (like him, her, it, them, us, me, you, and sometimes who, whom, what).  

    Example: She saw him. (Him is the direct object)  
    Example: I like it. (It is the direct object)
    Noun Phrases: A group of words that functions together as a noun. It usually includes a noun and its modifiers (like articles, adjectives, or other phrases).  

    Example: He bought a brand new car. (“a brand new car” is the direct object)
    Example: They visited the oldest library in the city. (“the oldest library in the city” is the direct object)
    Gerunds: The -ing form of a verb used as a noun.  

    Example: I enjoy swimming. (“swimming” is the direct object)
    Example: She hates waiting. (“waiting” is the direct object)
    Gerund Phrases: A gerund with its modifiers and/or objects, functioning as a noun.  

    Example: We finished cleaning the garage. (“cleaning the garage” is the direct object)
    Example: He regrets telling her the secret. (“telling her the secret” is the direct object)
    Infinitives: The “to + verb” form used as a noun (though less common as direct objects than gerunds, especially after certain verbs).

    Example: He loves to read. (“to read” is the direct object)
    Example: She decided to leave. (“to leave” is the direct object)
    Infinitive Phrases: An infinitive with its modifiers and/or objects, functioning as a noun.

    Example: They want to travel the world. (“to travel the world” is the direct object)
    Example: I tried to understand the instructions. (“to understand the instructions” is the direct object)
    So, in summary, direct objects can be single words (nouns, pronouns) or entire phrases/clauses that function as a single noun unit.

    (the) preposition

    ref – https://blog.prepscholar.com/what-part-of-speech-is-the-word-the

    the is classified as an article, which is a word used to define a noun.

    When ‘the’ is functioning as an adjective, it comes before a noun in order to clarify/describe whether it’s specific or non-specific.

    However, the can also sometimes function as an adverb in certain instances, too.

    “the” is an article that functions as both an adjective and an adverb, depending on how it’s being used.
    In other words, it’s an article, adjective, and an adverb!

    definite articile

    The word ‘the’ is considered a definite article because it defines the meaning of a noun as one particular thing.


    We went to the rodeo on Saturday. Did you see the cowboy get trampled by the bull?

    This sentence has three instances of “the” functioning as a definite article:

    the rodeo,
    the cowboy,
    the bull.

    Notice that in each instance, ‘the’ comes directly before the noun. That’s because it’s an article’s job to identify nouns.

    In each of these three instances, ‘the’ refers to a specific (or definite) person, place, or thing.

    When the speaker says the rodeo, they’re talking about one specific rodeo that happened at a certain place and time.

    The same goes for the cowboy and the bull: these are two specific people/animals that had one kinda terrible thing happen to them!

    indefinite article

    It can be a bit easier to see how definite articles work if you see them in the same sentence as an indefinite article (a or an).
    This sentence makes the difference a lot more clear:


    A bat flew into the restaurant and made people panic.

    Okay. This sentence has two articles in it: a and the. So what’s the difference?

    Well, you use ‘a’ when you’re referring to a general, non-specific person, place, or thing because its an indefinite article. So in this case, using ‘a’ tells us this isn’t a specific bat. It’s just a random bat from the wild that decided to go on an adventure.

    Notice that in the example, the writer uses ‘the’ to refer to the restaurant. That’s because the event happened at a specific place.

    A bat flew into one particular restaurant to cause havoc, which is why it’s referred to as the restaurant in the sentence.

    ‘The’ as an Adverb

    Finally, we mentioned that ‘the’ can also be used as an adverb, which is one of the eight main parts of speech. Adverbs modify or describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but never modify nouns.

    Sometimes, ‘the’ can be used to modify adverbs or adjectives that occur in the comparative degree. Adverbs or adjectives that compare the amounts or intensity of a feeling, state of being, or action characterizing two or more things are in the comparative degree. Sometimes ‘the’ appears before these adverbs or adjectives to help convey the comparison!

    Here’s an example where ‘the’ functions as an adverb instead of an article/adjective:

    Lainey believes the most outrageous things.

    Okay. We know that when ‘the’ is functioning as an adjective, it comes before a noun in order to clarify whether it’s specific or non-specific.

    In this case, however, ‘the’ precedes the word most, which isn’t a noun, it’s an adjective.

    And since an adverb modifies an adjective, adverb, or verb, that means ‘the’ functions as an adverb in this sentence.

    Giovanni’s is the best pizza place in Montana.

    The trick to figuring out whether the article ‘the’ is functioning as an adjective or an adverb is pretty simple:

    just look at the word directly after ‘the’ and figure out its part of speech.

    If that word is a noun, then the is functioning as an adjective.

    If that word isn’t a noun, then the is functioning like an adverb.

    Comparisons

    Remember how we explained that ‘the’ can be combined with adverbs that are making a comparison of levels or amounts of something between two entities? The example above shows how the can be combined with an adverb in such a situation. The is combined with more and likely to form an adverbial phrase.

    So how do you figure this out? Well, if the words immediately after the are adverbs, then the is functioning as an adverb, too!

    Here’s another example of how the can be used as an adverb:


    I had the worst day ever.

    In this case, ‘the’ is being combined with the adverb worst to compare the speaker’s day to the other days. Compared to all the other days ever, this person’s was the worst…period. Some other examples of adverbs that you might see the combined with include all the better, the best, the bigger, the shorter, and all the sooner.


    You are the best!


    He’s the worst player I have ever seen.

    Subordinate Conjunctions

    ref – https://www.grammarly.com/blog/subordinating-conjunctions/

    A subordinating conjunction is a word or phrase that links a dependent clause to an independent clause. This word or phrase indicates that a clause has informative value to add to the sentence’s main idea, signaling a cause-and-effect relationship or a shift in time and place between the two clauses.

    For example, ‘because’.

    Because is a conjunction with just one purpose: to show a cause-and-effect relationship between a subordinate clause and a main clause. On its own, a clause beginning with because is incomplete.

    Because he wouldn’t wear a seat belt.

    We have the sense that there is something missing here. Let’s add an independent clause so this statement has something to lean on.

    Independent clause:

    Robin wasn’t allowed in the Batmobile any longer.

    Now we will combine the two in a complex sentence.

    Robin wasn’t allowed in the Batmobile any longer.
    He wouldn’t wear a seat belt

    [Robin wasn’t allowed in the Batmobile any longer] because [he wouldn’t wear a seat belt].

    because links them together. The first clause explains the effect. The 2nd clause, the ’cause’.

    Other subordinate conjunctions include:

    for, as, since, though, due to, provided that, because of, unless, and so/so that.

    Example:

    subordinate conjunction: hence

    ind clause – Batman required strict compliance with seat belt rules
    ind clause – Robin was not allowed to ride in the Batmobile

    [Batman required strict compliance with seat belt rules], hence [Robin was not allowed to ride in the Batmobile].

    Example:

    sub onjunction – Since
    ind clause – Robin refused to wear his seat belt
    ind clause – Batman has banned him from the Batmobile

    Since Robin refused to wear his seat belt, Batman has banned him from the Batmobile.

    Subordinating conjunctions signaling relationships of time or place

    Another function of subordinating conjunctions is to show a relationship between two clauses involving a transition of time or place. Some examples of such subordinating conjunctions are once, while, when, whenever, where, wherever, before, and after.

    sub conj – Once
    ind clause – Batman learned that Robin had not been wearing his seat belt
    ind clause – he took away his keys to the Batmobile

    Once Batman learned that Robin had not been wearing his seat belt, he took away his keys to the Batmobile.

    subj conjunction – whenever
    ind clause – Robin looked regretfully at the Batmobile
    ind clause – he passed it in the Batcave.


    Robin looked regretfully at the Batmobile whenever he passed it in the Batcave.

    subj conjunction – After
    ind clause – Batman was done working for the night
    ind clause – Robin took a secret ride in the Batmobile

    After Batman was done working for the night, Robin took a secret ride in the Batmobile.

    subj conjunction – Before
    ind clause – he must promise to stop playing with the Batmobile
    ind clause – Robin gets his job in the Batcave back
    Before Robin gets his job in the Batcave back, he must promise to stop playing with the Batmobile.

    Comma placement and subordinating conjunctions

    Subordinating conjunctions that fall in the middle of a sentence are generally not preceded by a comma.

    Here, we have subordinate conjunction ( whenever ) falls in the middle of the sentence:

    [Robin drove the Batmobile] whenever [Batman was away].

    However, when a subordinate clause begins a sentence, the whole clause (but not the subordinating conjunction itself) is followed by a comma.

    Whenever Batman was away, Robin drove the Batmobile.

    after
    although
    as
    as if
    as long as
    as much as
    as soon as
    as though
    because
    before
    by the time
    even if
    even though
    if
    in case
    in order that
    in the event that
    lest
    now that
    once

    Object Complement

    ref – https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/object_complement.htm

    They come right after the direct object, and is a noun/pronoun/adjective.

    Here are some more examples of object complements:

    I found the guard sleeping.

    direct object – guard
    object complement – sleeping

    We all consider her unworthy.

    direct object – her
    object complement – unworthy

    I declare this centre open.

    direct object – this centre
    object complement – open

    We consider fish spoiled once it smells like what it is.

    direct object – fish
    object complement – spoiled

    To obtain a man’s opinion of you, make him mad. (Physician and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes)

    direct object – him
    object complement – mad

    An object complement is not always one word. It could be a phrase.

    For example:

    I found the guard sleeping in the barn.
    direct object – the guard
    object complement – sleeping in the barn

    We all consider her unworthy of the position.

    direct object – her
    object complement – unworthy of the position

    They (subj) named (verb) Jeremy Line (direct object) their favorite player (obj complement).

    Subject Complement and linking verbs

    ref –

    • https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/subject_complement.htm
    • https://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/predicate_nominative.htm

    What is a subject complement?


    A subject complement is a word or phrase that appears after a linking verb in a sentence and is closely related to the sentence’s subject—identifying, defining, or describing it. A subject complement’s job, along with a linking verb, is to clarify the subject of a sentence. Subject complements never appear without linking verbs, and linking verbs never appear without them.

    Note that a linking verb links the subject to its complement (subject complement). It is followed by either a noun or an adjective. So, a linking verb works like a bridge that connects two parts: the subject and the subject complement.

    Easy Examples of Subject Complements

    In the examples below, the linking verbs are in bold and the subject complements are shaded:


    Ben is a policeman.

    (The linking verb is “is” (i.e., the verb “to be”). The subject complement identifies the subject “Ben.” It is a noun.)


    He will be fine.

    (The linking verb is “will be” (i.e., the verb “to be”). The subject complement describes the subject “He.” It is an adjective.)


    I am he.

    (The linking verb is “am” (i.e., the verb “to be”). The subject complement identifies the subject “I.” It is a pronoun.)

    Types of Subject Complement

    Predicative Nominative

    Subject complements that are headed by nouns or pronouns are called predicate nominatives.

    A predicate nominative is always a noun or a pronoun.

    In other words, a predicate nominative follows a linking verb, which is a verb that connects the subject with another word that describes or modifies it.

    For example:

    I am a ghost

    (In this example, “ghost” is a noun. It heads the noun phrase “a ghost.” Therefore, “a ghost” is a predicate nominative.)

    Reece was a politician.

    ‘politician’ is a noun. It describes Reece’s occupation.

    A dog is man’s best friend.

    Subject – A dog
    linking verb – is
    predicate nominatives – man’s best friend. (noun phrase)
    (In this case, our predicate nominative is a noun phrase, i.e., a noun made up of more than one word.)

    She will be the fairy.

    Subject – She
    linking verb – will be
    predicate nominative – the fairy.

    I could have been a contender.

    Subject – I
    linking verb – could have been
    predicate nominative – a contender.

    The best chair is the red one.

    Subject – best chair
    linking verb – is
    predicate nominative – the red one

    Remember that a predicate nominative, as shown in our examples above, is a noun (or a pronoun) that renames the subject.

    What Is a Compound Predicate Nominative?

    A predicate nominative can be made up of more than one noun. In other words, it can be a compound.

    For example:
    The new law is an opportunity and a risk.
    (An opportunity and a risk is a compound predicate nominative.)

    I will be your employer, your friend, and your uncle.

    (Your employer, your friend, and your uncle is a compound predicate nominative.)

    Subject complements that are headed by adjectives are called predicate adjectives.

    framework: subject + linking verb + predicative adjective

    For example:
    I am extremely happy.

    (In this example, “happy” is an adjective. It heads the adjective phrase “extremely happy.” Therefore, “extremely happy” is a predicate adjective.)

    My hair looks funny.

    subject – My hair
    linking verb – looks
    adjective – funny

    That duck sounds loud.

    Subject – That duck
    linking verb – sounds
    adjective – loud

    Maria feels annoyed.

    Subject – Maria
    linking verb – feels
    adjective – annoyed

    John is brilliant.

    (The adjective ‘brilliant’ is a predicate adjective, not a predicate nominative. Of note, predicate adjectives and predicate nominatives are classified as subject complements, but they are not the same.)

    It feels great.

    (The adjective great is a predicate adjective not a predicate nominative.)

    Now compare these two examples:

    The sea is dangerous.

    (The adjective dangerous is a predicate adjective, not a predicate nominative.)

    The sea is a danger.

    (The noun a danger is a predicate nominative.)

    Tips and Tricks – Identifying Predicate Adjectives

    The trick to identifying predicate adjectives is spotting linking verbs. The linking verbs include the following:

    The verb to be (in its various forms, e.g., am, are, is, was, were, will be, has been, have been).

    The sense verbs (e.g., to feel, to look, to smell, to taste, to sound).

    The status verbs (e.g., to appear, to become, to continue, to grow, to seem, to turn).

    Nouns (part 1)

    ref – https://www.grammarly.com/blog/nouns/

    A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea.

    In a sentence, nouns play the role of:

    • subject
    • direct object
    • indirect object
    • subject complement
    • object complement
    • appositive
    • modifier

    Some noun examples include cat, bicycle, Taylor Swift, Kuala Lumpur.

    Types of nouns
    Nouns form a large proportion of English vocabulary, and they come in a wide variety of types.

    Nouns can name a person:

    • Albert Einstein
    • the president
    • my mother
    • a girl

    Nouns can name a place:

    • Mount Vesuvius
    • Disneyland
    • my bedroom

    Things might include intangible things, such as concepts, activities, or processes. Some might even be hypothetical or imaginary things.

    • shoe
    • faucet
    • freedom
    • The Elder Wand
    • basketball

    Proper nouns vs. common nouns

    One important distinction to be made is whether a noun is a proper noun or a common noun.

    A proper noun is a specific name of a person, place, or thing and is always capitalized.

    Does (Tina) have much homework to do this evening?
    Tina is the name of a specific person.

    I would like to visit (Old Faithful).
    Old Faithful is the specific name of a geological phenomenon.

    The opposite of a proper noun is a common noun, sometimes known as a generic noun.

    A common noun is the generic name of an item in a class or group and is not capitalized unless appearing at the beginning of a sentence or in a title.

    ex: The girl crossed the river.

    Types of common nouns

    Common can be broken down into three subtypes:

    • concrete nouns – (physical or real) – can be perceived by our senses
    • abstract nouns – cannot be perceived by our senses.
    • collective nouns

    A concrete noun is something that is perceived by the senses; something that is physical or real.

    example:

    I heard the (doorbell).
    My (keyboard) is sticky.

    Doorbell and keyboard name real things that can be sensed.

    Conversely, an abstract noun is something that cannot be perceived by the senses.

    We can’t imagine the courage it took to do that.

    Courage is an abstract noun. Courage can’t be seen, heard, or sensed in any other way, but we know it exists.

    A collective noun denotes a group or collection of people or things.

    That (pack) of lies (is) disgraceful.

    Pack as used here is a collective noun. Collective nouns take a singular verb, as they refer to the collection of people or things they identify as one entity—in this case, the singular verb is.

    A (pride) of lions roamed the savanna.

    Pride is also a collective noun.

    Forming plural nouns

    Many English plural nouns can be formed by adding -s or -es to the singular form, although there are also many exceptions.

    cat –> cats

    These two cats are both black.
    Note the plural verb are.

    tax –> taxes
    house –> houses

    Uncountable Nouns

    Uncountable nouns, or mass nouns, are nouns that are impossible to count, whether because they name

    – intangible concepts: (e.g., information, animal husbandry, wealth),
    – collections of things that are considered as wholes (e.g., jewelry, equipment, the working class)
    – or homogeneous physical substances (e.g., milk, sand, air). Although most of these nouns are singular in form, because they refer to things that can’t be isolated and counted on their own, they are never used with the singular indefinite article a or an.

    Singular concrete uncountable nouns can often be expressed in countable units by adding a countable noun like piece (with of).

    example:
    They’d love to rent a (piece) of property around here.
    Students don’t seem to have (much) homework these days.

    On their own, uncountable nouns can be modified by the definite article the:

    example:
    Could you help me move (the) furniture into the other room?

    or indefinite adjectives like some.
    They’d love to rent (some) property around here.

    This (demonstrative adjective)

    ref – https://pediaa.com/what-are-demonstrative-adjectives/

    Demonstrative adjectives are used to modify a noun so that we can know which specific person, object or place is mentioned in a sentence.

    There are four main demonstrative adjectives in English. They are

    • this
    • these
    • that
    • those

    This (singular) – close by

    This is used with singular nouns.
