The sentences below have transitive verbs so each verb has a direct object. Read each sentences and underline its direct object. (Underline the subject once, and double underline the action verb and circle the do.) *** Some may not have DO*** please correct me if I'm wrong!
2. Rainbows thrill Santiago. ( circle rainbows and underline Santiago .)
5. Martina's school just opened. ( underline Martina's school, and circle opened.)
To identify the direct object in a sentence, we need to find the action verb and see what or whom it is directly affecting.
In the given sentences:
2. Rainbows thrill Santiago. - The action verb is "thrill," and its direct object is "Santiago." So, circle "rainbows" (the subject), double underline "thrill" (the action verb), and circle "Santiago" (the direct object).
5. Martina's school just opened. - The action verb is "opened." However, this sentence does not have a direct object. The verb "opened" is intransitive because it does not have a direct object.
So, underline "Martina's school" (the subject) and circle "opened" (the action verb).
