    A direct object is the noun that receives the action of the verb: answer the question verb plus what. An indirect object is the noun that the action is done to or for, and it stands between the verb and the direct object with no preposition in front of it. Seventh graders name which one a word is.

  2. 8th grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    At grade 8 the sheet uses four labels. A direct object receives the action of the verb. An indirect object names who gets the direct object and sits in front of it with no preposition. An object of a preposition follows to, for, on, or another preposition. A subject complement follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject.
