How to Find the Direct Object

• A direct object will always be either a noun or a
  pronoun.
• You might sometimes mix it up with the indirect
  object or the subject.
• It always follows one of the action verbs in the
  sentence.
• If you think you know what it is, check to see if
  its in a prepositional phrase.

How to Find a Direct Object Part 2

• One of the best ways to find the direct object is
  to think of it this way I want (direct object).
  (I) being the subject comes first, then the verb
  (want), then your direct object. Kind of like I
  want ice cream.
