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:
        He drove a brand new car.

        Subject: He                      Verb: drove   Object: new car

        Subject: My mother               Verb: cooks   Object: wonderful food

        Subject: I                       Verb: love    Object: ice creams

        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.
