That sentence does not have a direct object. The verb needs to be transitive (a type of action verb) for the sentence to contain a direct object. "Is" is never a transitive verb because it's not an action. "Is" is a linking verb in that sentence.
Jim is a proper noun. As with any noun it can be a direct object, indirect object depending on how it is used in a sentence. Whether a noun is an indirect object does not depending on anything do do with the noun itself. The indirect object is indirectly affected by the action of the sentence. It is the subject of the sentence "Jim ate a hot dog." It is the direct object of "Sally kissed Jim." It is the indirect object of "Sally gave Jim a present."
No, transitive verbs are action verbs that have a direct object. Is is the only verb in that sentence, and it is a linking verb. Linking verbs are not action verbs.
A direct object is what receives the action in a sentence. It answers the questions what or whom.Ex:Susan is eating pizza.What is Susan eating?Pizza.Sally hugs John.Whom does sally hug?John
The indirect object is the thing/ person to or for whom the action is done, eg "Jim threw the ball to Sally." "Jim threw Sally the ball." Sally is the indirect object. in the first one "Jim threw the ball to Sally." the ball is the id because its the one being thrown if im wrong though let me know.
A direct object tells what the verb did. She gave him the book. The verb is gave. What did the verb gave actually do. Did she give the boy? Did she give the boy to Sally? No. She gave the book. So the direct object describes what the verb actually did. The verb give involved the book. The book is the direct object. What happened to the book? She gave the direct object, the book, to the indirect object, the boy.
The verb "is" in this sentence is intransitive because it does not have a direct object receiving the action. Instead, it links the subject ("Sally") to the subject complement ("very patient with her pesky little brother").
"Was consumed with" is not a complete sentence. It needs a subject and object. He was consumed with fear. Sally was consumed with guilt.
The object (direct object) receives the action of the verb.The dog ate the meat.If you ask the question what did the dog eat? the answer is the meat = objectJack saw Sally last night.If you ask the question who did Jack see? the answer is Sally = objectWhen you have a direct and an indirect object then it may not be so easy to see who/what receives the action.Jack gave me some flowers.If you ask the question what did Jack give? the answer is flowers, so flowers is the direct object and in this sentence me is the indirect object.
Jane Gallagher represents woman as friend and companion to Holden, Sally Hayes represents woman as sex object to him.
No, there doesn't have to be a direct object or any object at all. Examples: We ran fast. ('fast' is an adverb modifying the verb 'ran', no object) I will, she won't. (two subjects, two verbs, no object) Stop! (the subject 'you' is implied, 'stop' is the verb, no object.) I was just thinking. ('was thinking' is the verb, 'just' is an adverb modifying the the auxiliary verb 'was', no object)
Sally and I went to the shops.However, you would not say, "They informed Sally and Ithat we would be going to camp." In this context, the words Sally and me would be used. The rule of thumb is to remove the other person, and see if it makes more sense to say either me or I.
The indirect object in your sentence is Michelle. (It answers the question to whom or for whom.)
