How do you determine the direct object in a sentence?

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)


What is the difference between say and tell?

Both "say" and "tell" can have a direct object and an indirect object. The direct object is the words spoken, and the indirect object is the person to whom the words are spoken. However, with "say" you put the word "to" in front of the indirect object; whereas, with "tell" you do not: I say to you, "Hello". I tell you, "Hello". Also, with "tell" you ALWAYS have an indirect object. With say, you don't have to have an indirect object: I say, "Hello". I tell you, "Hello". (You would never say, "I tell, Hello".)
