I'm confused on what the direct object is in the following sentence:

Read "King of the Wind," and learn more about the adventures of Agba and his horse.

The direct object is "King of the Wind." It answers the question WHAT after the verb, "read."

Note: The verb "learn" doesn't have a direct object in this sentence. The words following that verb are in the prepositional phrase, "about the adventures of Agba and his horse."

Okay, I understand that now. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.

To identify the direct object in a sentence, you need to identify the subject (the one performing the action), the verb (the action being performed), and then ask the question "what?" or "whom?" after the verb to determine the direct object.

In this sentence, the subject is "you" (implied), and the verb is "Read." Now, ask the question "Read what?" to find the direct object.

The answer is "King of the Wind." Therefore, "King of the Wind" is the direct object in this sentence.
