direct+or+indirect

// John made Heather a necklace. //

Direct object = the direct receiver of action or the action verb

To find the direct object: Steps: 1. Ask yourself who the receiver of the action is//.// Answer = //a necklace// (the direct object i.e. what John made)

To find the indirect object: Steps: 1. Ask yourself : //(to whom/for whom) - (to/for what)// relating to the action in the sentence. e.g. //Heather// is the indirect object.

// Remember: //

- Direct object is NOT always what directly follows the action verb. - Both direct and indirect objects are either a noun or a pronoun
