Writing Skills—Sentences

              A sentence is a group of words that make complete sense. A sentence has different parts as shown below:


                                      The cat                      drinks                    milk



                               Subject—the person or              Verb—                  Object—the
                                thing performing the           expresses what            receiver of the
                                      action.                   the action is.              action.


              Types of Objects
              The object in a sentence can be either direct or indirect. Let us understand both.

                                  Direct Object     •   a noun or pronoun receiving the action
                                                    •   generally preceded by the verb
                                                    •   does not depend on the indirect object
                                  Indirect Object   •   a noun/pronoun that receives the direct object
                                                    •   generally preceded by prepositions
                                                    •   depends on the direct object

              Let us understand using an example:


                                         My brother gave new shoes to his friend.


                                                          Direct object      Indirect object
