Using Nouns as Direct Objects
- There are two kinds of complements that follow action verbs: direct objects and indirect objects.
1
A direct is a noun (or a pronoun) that follows an action verb and receives the action from that verb. It answers the questions whom or what after the verb.
A good tree bears good fruit. (Bears is an action verb, so there may be a direct object. Tree bears what? The answer is fruit, so fruit is the direct object.)
2
If no word answers the questions whom or what after the action verb, the sentence does not have a direct object.
She smiled pleasantly. (Did she smile anything? No; pleasantly is an adverb telling how she smiled.)
3
Direct objects can never be in prepositional phrases. . We ate steak at a fine restaurant (We ate what? We ate steak. Steak is the direct object. Restaurant is the object of the preposition at.)
4
Direct objects may be compound.
God created the heaven and the earth. (God created what? Heaven and earth. Heaven and earth is the compound direct object.)
