What is a direct object and a subject?
Many sentences in English involve subjects and direct objects. For example the sentence "John smokes cigarettes" contains a subject (John) and a direct object (cigarettes). John is taking action whereas the cigarettes are acted upon. The subject should preceed the verb and the direct object should come after the verb.
Example of a direct object?
"John likes James" - John is the subject and James is the direct object."John threw the ball to James" - John is the subject, the ball is the direct object and James is the indirect object.Some more examples of direct objects:In each sentence, "math" is the direct object...He likes math.She does math everyday.They don't know math very well.You can ask a question using the verb to find the direct object in the sentence, so...Who does John like? JamesWhat did John throw? the ballWhat does he like? mathetc.Be careful, however. Sometimes what looks like a direct object, is not a direct object at all. For example:"Greg went to the store"Here "the store" is not the direct object. There is no direct object in this sentence, actually. "The store" is actually the object of the preposition because it follows the preposition "to".If you ask the question,Where did Greg go? You get the answer, "to the store". You get a prepositional phrase as the answer, not a noun like James, the ball and math.You might be wondering why "James" is not the object of the preposition in the second sentence, "John threw the ball to James". Well one easy way to tell that James is the indirect object and not the object of the preposition is to rearrange the sentence. "John threw James the ball". You can't rearrange "Greg went to the store" like that.

What action was done? He Gave. Gave is the action done. What did he give? He gave the book. Book is the direct object. Who received the book? John received the book? John is the indirect object! Book is the direct object. It is the item on which the action is performed.
