Lesson 13: Objects and Complements

Objects are nouns or pronouns towards which the effect of the action
verb is directed.

Examples: Two woodcutters cut an old tree.

Sameer pushed me from behind.
Words ‘an old tree’ and ‘me’ are objects because they are affected
by the effect of the action verbs ‘fell’ and ‘pushed’. And the verbs are

transitive.

Objects are of two kinds:
Direct Objects reply to the question ‘what?’
Indirect Objects reply to the question ‘who or whom?’

Examples: My mom told us a story. (indirect object, direct object)
My friend lent a book to me. (direct object, indirect object)
In English Indirect Objects are placed before Direct Objects.

A. Read the following sentences and underline objects. Write whether

the objects are Direct Objects or Indirect Objects on the lines provided.
