A Transitive Verb
Yes, in a sentence with an action verb, the direct object typically comes after the verb. The direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.
The direct object of a sentence takes the action of the verb.
A transitive verb is the verb used when the subject of the sentence is the one doing the action; the direct object is the recipient of the action word. for example: The boy throws the ball. Throws is the verb and ball is the object.
A direct object follows a transitive verb.
There is no direct object in that sentence. Felt is being used as a linking verb, not an action verb. The verb must be an action to take a direct object.
The direct object receives the action of a transitive action verb. Examples:The car hit the tree. (Tree, the direct object, receives the action of the verb hit.)I helped the driver out of the car. (Driver, the direct object, receives the action of the verb helped.)He helped around the house. (There is no direct object in this sentence. Around the house is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb helped, but does not receive the action of the verb.)He helped his mother around the house. (Here, mother is the direct object, receiving the action of the verb helped.)
A direct object.
A direct object sentence includes a verb that directly acts upon the object. In a sentence like "She bought a book," "a book" is the direct object because it receives the action of the verb "bought." You can use "them" as the direct object in a sentence like "He ate them for breakfast," where "them" represents the object that is directly affected by the action of eating.
The verb is called a transitive verb if it takes a direct object.The verb is called an intransitive verb if it has no direct object or only an indirect object.
A verb with a direct object is a transitive verb. It requires an object to complete its meaning in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I ate the apple," the verb "ate" is transitive, and "apple" is the direct object of the verb.
A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of an action verb. It must follow an action verb and answers the question what or whom about that action verb. Example. Mary loves meatloaf. Meatloaf is the direct object, as it follows the action verb "loves" and answers the question: loves what? Meatloaf.
