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.
That sentence does not have a direct object. The verb needs to be transitive (a type of action verb) for the sentence to contain a direct object. "Is" is never a transitive verb because it's not an action. "Is" is a linking verb in that sentence.
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.
In a sentence with an active verb, the subject carries out some action on a direct object
The direct object of a sentence takes the action of the verb.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
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.)
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
In order to have a direct object, a sentence must include an action verb that directly affects and is followed by a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. This noun or pronoun is the direct object of the sentence.
The part of a sentence that receives the action expressed by the verb is called the object. It can be a direct object, which directly receives the action, or an indirect object, which receives the action indirectly.
