Object

An object is a noun that can be seen or touched. It can be a person, animal, place, thing, or idea. Objects are an important part of a sentence, as they are the recipients of the action performed by the subject.

Types of Objects

There are two main types of objects: direct objects and indirect objects.

Direct Object

A direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after the verb. For example:
- The dog chases the ball.
- She is reading a book.

Indirect Object

An indirect object is the noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. It answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?" after the verb. For example:
- He gave his sister a present.
- The teacher assigned the students homework.
