All of your direct objects are correct. :-)
In 1, friend is the subject.
Okay thank you :) sorry I meant friend.
To find the direct object pronoun and replace it with a direct pronoun, you need to identify the direct object in each sentence and then choose the appropriate direct object pronoun to replace it.
Here are the corrected answers:
1. My friend sells his new car.
- The direct object in this sentence is "car". To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "it". So, the corrected sentence would be: "My friend sells *it*."
2. My parents watch the news.
- The direct object in this sentence is "news", but in English, "news" is an uncountable noun that does not require a direct object pronoun. Therefore, the sentence remains the same.
3. I bring my notebook to class.
- The direct object in this sentence is "notebook". To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "it". So, the corrected sentence would be: "I bring *it* to class."
4. We saw the film on Saturday.
- The direct object in this sentence is "film". To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "it". So, the corrected sentence would be: "We saw *it* on Saturday."
5. Buy roses.
- "Roses" is indeed the direct object in this sentence. To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "them". So, the corrected sentence would be: "Buy *them*."
6. Paul seeks holidays.
- "Holiday" is actually not the direct object in this sentence. It is the object of the preposition "seeks". Therefore, the sentence remains the same.
7. We use the phone.
- "Phone" is indeed the direct object in this sentence. To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "it". So, the corrected sentence would be: "We use *it*."
8. They want to go shopping.
- "Shopping" is actually a gerund in this sentence and functions as the object of the preposition "to". Therefore, the sentence remains the same.
9. We hope the summer.
- "Summer" is indeed the direct object in this sentence. To replace it with a direct object pronoun, you would use "it". So, the corrected sentence would be: "We hope *it*."
10. The telephone directory is not used frequently.
- "Telephone" is not the direct object in this sentence. It is part of a compound subject with "directory". Therefore, the sentence remains the same.
