Direct objects follow action verbs.

Pronouns take the place of nouns. Some common pronouns are I, me, you, we, us, they, them.

However, the one pronoun used as a direct object is incorrect.

Which pronoun is used incorrect?

C. Nan invited my sister and I to her party.

The direct objects are sister and ME.

A. does not have a direct object. The verb is a linking verb, making Pablo and me predicate nominatives.
B. The indirect object is me, and the direct object is watch.
D. The indirect object is me, and the direct object is questions.

I just submitted it and the correct answer was D.

D is not correct. See above.

Please ask your teacher about that answer.

To identify the sentence in which a pronoun is used as a direct object, we need to understand what a direct object is. A direct object is a noun or pronoun that directly receives the action of the verb in a sentence. To locate the direct object, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the verb: Look for the action verb in each sentence.
2. Ask "what" or "whom" after the verb: Once you've identified the verb, ask "what" or "whom" to find the direct object.

Now let's apply these steps to the given sentences:

A. The stars of the play were Pablo and me.
- In this sentence, there is no action verb, so there is no direct object.

B. My dad gave me his old watch.
- The verb is "gave."
- Ask "What did dad give?" Answer: "watch."
- "Watch" is the direct object in this sentence.

C. Nan invited my sister and I to her party.
- The verb is "invited."
- Ask "What did Nan invite?" Answer: "sister and I."
- "Sister and I" is the direct object in this sentence.

D. Ask me no more questions, please.
- The verb is "ask."
- Ask "What did you ask?" Answer: "questions."
- "Questions" is the direct object in this sentence.

Therefore, the sentence in which a pronoun is used as a direct object is option D: "Ask me no more questions, please."
