The direct object is a noun that receives the action of the verb. Jan told the secret. (Secret is a direct object because it is the thing being told.) Matthew pitched the ball. (Ball is the direct object because it is being pitched. The ball receives the action of the verb which is pitched.) More highlighted direct objects: The dog chased the cat. The mechanic fixed the car. After a very tough day, she bought a diamond necklace. The blue ribbon was awarded after the race. Kevin gave the card to Grandma. To detrmine the direct object in a sentence, it is helpful to ask yourself the following questions. (The sentences above are used to show this.) * What was chased? the cat * What was fixed? the car * What did she buy? a necklace * What did he give? a card
