OBJECTS!
DIRECT (DO)
INDIRECT (IO)
OBJECTS OF PREPOSITIONS (OP)
Transitive
Verb – has a direct object
Intransitive does not have a direct
object
Helpful Hints about DO’s
You
MUST have an AV to have a DO
DO’s (almost) ALWAYS come after
the verb – the exception would be in
a question
Not all action verbs have DO’s –
these are called intransitive verbs
Linking Verbs NEVER have DO’s!!
Indirect Objects (IO’s)
Noun
or pronoun that comes after
the action verb but before the DO.
Answers the question to whom? For
whom? To what? For what?
IMPORTANT: Only verbs with a DO
can have an IO!!!
Direct objects
These
nouns or pronouns receive the
action of the verb.
Ex. I threw the ball to the dog.
Threw / AV
Ball / DO
Ask yourself threw who or what??
When a verb has a DO, it is called a
transitive verb
Examples
Joe
gave me the ball.
What is the verb?
DO?
IO?
Always
in this order… AV/IO/DO
Question??
Do
you have to have an IO if you
have a DO?
NO!
Do you have to have a DO if you
have an IO?
YES!
So…the last word in a sentence can
never be the IO!
Most important rule of all…
Words
in a prepositional phrase can
NEVER be the IO or DO!
Ex.
The boy went to the store for
milk.
to the store – prep phrase
For milk – prep phrase

Now let’s practice!
Write
a sentence with a DO (first pick
a good ACTION verb to put in your
sentence)
Now try one with an IO – will you
need a DO?
OF COURSE!
