 Grammar:
Direct
Objects
Definition of a
direct object. |
- A direct object is a word(s):
- which completes the meaning of a
verb
- which usually follows a
transitive verb
- To determine if a
verb in a
sentence has a direct object:
- Do the following:
- find the
verb
- then ask a question about the
verb
using "whom" or "what"
- if there is an answer to this question in the
sentence, then that word(s) is the direct object
- Example: The teacher ate lunch.
- the
verb is ate
- the question would be: The teacher ate what?
- the answer is lunch, which is the direct object
|
- The student read the book.
- She likes to eat cookies.

Airport Bus
Stan: What time does the bus leave for the
airport?
Harry: I don’t know. It used to leave
every half hour, but I think the schedule’s been changed.
Stan: Do you know the telephone number to
call?
Harry: It’s Enterprise 74700.
At least that’s what it used to be.
Stan: Yeah, I’ll try it. (Pause) They
don’t seem to answer.
Harry: I expect that it’s a little too
early. I don’t think they open until nine o’clock. |

Conversation Notes |
- At least
- In any case
- NOTE: On most telephones
in the U.S., letters appear with each number on the keypad. When those
letters are combined, we often use easy to remember words of names in place
of the letter combinations. In this example, the letters are EN which
correspond to the numbers 3 and 6. So the number here is 3674700. The use
of only numbers has become more common today.
