Direct and Indirect Objects - 6th Grade Grammar
Direct and Indirect Objects
A direct object receives the action of the verb in a sentence and
tells whom or what is affected by the verb’s action.
Examples:
Anderson
gave his dog a treat.
Grace
handed her mother the notebook.
Jackie
tossed me the basketball.
Ben played
the class a recording.
The teacher
taught the group the song.
An indirect object appears before the direct object and tells
to whom or for whom the action is done.
Examples:
Anderson
gave his dog a treat.
Grace
handed her mother the notebook.
Jackie tossed me the
basketball.
Ben played the class a
recording.
The teacher taught the
group the song.
