If the word "writing" is used as a noun, then it can be a direct object. Without a complete sentence, "writing" is just a word.
Example:
He enjoys writing. (direct object of the verb "enjoys")
"Write" is a transitive verb. It takes a direct object (he writes a book). However, it can be used intransitively; that is, the direct object does not have to be present (he writes every day, he is writing).
object
Direct writing is the process of writing that involves direct action, facts, or speech. Effective writing usually contains a blen of direct and indirect writing styles.
"You were in the mountains" does not have a direct object.
Of course it can. He spoke to me has no direct object.It also doesn't have an indirect object: "to me" is a prepositional phrase (and "me" is a prepositional object).There is an example of a sentence with an indirect object but no direct object, but only in American: "*Write your grandmother.", meaning "Write to your grandmother.". (When folks on television say, "Write this address!", I want to complain that I've tried writing the address but it just sits there on the piece of paper...!)
The verb does not have a direct object in the sentence, "She is insecure."
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
A direct object follows a transitive verb.
Yes !! it is a direct object!!
In the sentence "Your visit to the museum was educational", "visit" is the direct object. An indirect object would typically receive the direct object, such as in the sentence "I gave her a gift" where "her" is the indirect object receiving the direct object "gift".
A noun as a direct object? Jack ate the cake. - noun direct object = cake She brought lunch for her sister. - noun direct object = lunch
