The object in the sentence is 'happy', a predicate adjective (also called a subject complement), an adjective that follows a linking verb that restates the subject (Jerry = happy).

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.

How can you use them in a direct object 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.

Can you have an indirect object with a direct object?

Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)

What is the direct object she taught them everything about baseball?

The direct object of the sentence is 'them'.Basically, the direct object of the sentence is the object that is directly affected; that is, it is the most important object of a sentence.E.g. 'I drank the bowl of soup'. Bowl is the direct object because the action (drank) directly affects the bowl. Soup is an extra noun that adds more detail, but its not needed for the sentence to be complete.
