Understand how and when to use direct objects

Direct objects are nouns or pronouns that receive an action from a verb.

Example: John enjoys his morning train ride into the city.

There are several nouns in this example, but the only direct object is ride, and the verb that acts on that object is enjoys.

All of the exercises in this worksheet have the student circling the nouns and pointing them to the direct object they act upon. The higher difficulty sentences have more nouns and verbs and more sophisticated vocabulary.
