Objects In grammar, we use the word 'object' to talk about the thing or person that the verb is done to, or who receives the verb. It can be a noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun or a longer complex object, which is modified in a similar way to a complex subject. Only a transitive verb can have an object. An intransitive verb never has an object. Read more about transitive and intransitive verbs here. The object is 'chocolate'. David met Lucy yesterday. The object is 'Lucy'.
I put the orange cat into the garden. The object is 'the orange cat'. We saw the man whose house my brother built. The object is 'the man whose house my brother built'. The boys threw away the toys that they no longer played with and all the clothes that had become too small. The object is 'the toys that they no longer played with and all the clothes that had become too small'. Direct and indirect objects A few verbs in English can have two different kinds of objects.
We call these the 'direct object' and the 'indirect object'. The 'direct object' is what I've been talking about on this page so far.
It's the thing or person to who or to which we do the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence 'I give the chocolate', the subject is 'I', the verb is 'give' and the direct object is 'the chocolate'. But we can also say 'I give Lucy the chocolate'. In other words, subject does the action. The action is represented by a verb. In the sentence mentioned above, Francis is the person who does the action. Subject in a sentence is represented by the nominative case.
Therefore, mango is the object of this sentence. Object is the center of action. Mango is the center of the action. While the subject is represented by the nominative case, the object in a sentence is represented by the accusative case.
