                 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.
                 •  Indirect Objects: Indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. It answers the question "to whom?", "for
                   whom?". For example:

                   She made a cake for her mother’s birthday.
                   He wrote a letter to his friend.


                                         Let us try finding direct and indirect objects in the given sentences.

                   fact. Most of the sentences of English language are assertive sentences. For example:
