                 Parts of a Sentence


                 A sentence is made up of:
                    • Subject: A subject is a noun that refers to a person, place or thing.
                    • Verb: It is the action done by the subject.

                    • Object: It is a person, place or thing that receives an action and gets affected.


                          Subject       +           Verb           +         Object         =         Sentence


                 For example:

                 Subject: He                      Verb: drove             Object: new car

                 Types of Objects


                 There are two types of objects which are the basic building blocks of any sentence. These are:
                    • Direct Objects: Direct objects come after a verb and are directly ‘acted on’ by the verb. It answers the question
                   "what?" or "who?". For example:
                   She sang on Annual day.
                   Peter doesn't like Maths.
                                                                                       Communication Skills-II  37
