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!
I just need help on these last two please! I've looked over my notes and everything!!!
1. Rainbows thrill Santiago.
2. Martina's school just opened.
Would #1 be underline rainbows, double underline thrill and circle Santiago?
Would #2 be underline Martina's and double underline school?
1. This should be easy.
2. This one does not have a direct object.
Is school a verb? Does it show action?
Is #1 right? And for #2 would it be underlind school and double underline Martina's?
1 is correct.
2. School is the subject. What is the verb? What did the school do?
2. Opened is double underlined..
A verb displays an action..
Right.
That was me, not the person asking the question. Whoops.
Didn't realize the person who asked question didn't have a name.
1. Rainbows thrill Santiago.
To find the direct object in this sentence, we first identify the subject: Rainbows. Then we look for the verb: thrill. The verb here is "thrill," and it is a transitive verb because it takes an object. In this case, the direct object is Santiago.
So the direct object in this sentence is Santiago.
2. Martina's school just opened.
For this sentence, we first identify the subject: Martina's school. Then we look for the verb: opened. The verb here is "opened," and it is also a transitive verb because it takes an object. In this case, the direct object is not explicitly stated in the sentence. However, we can assume that there is a direct object, even though it is not mentioned. We can rephrase the sentence to include the unstated direct object: "Martina's school just opened its doors." In this case, "its doors" would be the direct object.
So the direct object in this sentence is "its doors" (even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the original sentence).
