Identify each direct object. Some maybe compound

3.books
4.adventures, boy, horse

3. Correct
4???
5. ???
1 - OK
2 - There is only one DO in that sentence.
3 - OK
4 - Re-think it completely; what is the main verb?
5 - Re-think it all.
Oops I was looking at different sentence when typing.
4.Newbery Medal
5.adventures, horse
You're right.
5 - not "horse" - it's an object of the preposition "of"
Ooops!
Writeacher is correct. I missed the prepostional phrase.
To identify the direct objects in the given sentences, we need to find the nouns that receive the action of the verb. Here are the direct objects:
1. Sentence 1: "stories" - This is a direct object that receives the action of the verb "know."
2. Sentence 2: "horses" and "readers" - These are compound direct objects that receive the action of the verb "thrilled."
3. Sentence 3: "books" - This is a direct object that receives the action of the verb "wrote."
4. Sentence 4: "Medal" - This is a direct object that receives the action of the verb "won."
5. Sentence 5: "adventures," "boy," and "horse" - These are compound direct objects that receive the action of the verb "tells."
Note: In Sentence 5, "milk," "honey," and "colt" are not direct objects. They are additional nouns from the context but do not receive the action of the verb.
