Question

Highlight the direct object of each bold verb in the sentence below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sheldon Plankton sang a cheerful song to his sick armadillo.

Explanation:

The direct object is the receiver of the action represented by the verb (the predicate). To identify the direct object, you can find the verb and ask what?/ whom? For example,

• He ate an apple.
• He ate what?
• An apple. - direct object

We can do the same here:

• Sheldon Plankton sang a cheerful song to his sick armadillo.
• Sheldon Plankton sang what?
• A cheerful song.
