- 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.)
