Object merupakan bagian dari kalimat. Dalam kalimat terdapat dua macam object, yaitu direct object dan indirect object.
1. Direct Object
Direct object biasanya digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan What dan Whom (apa dan siapa) setelah action verb dalam kalimat transitif (kalimat yang membutuhkan objek). Direct object umumnya terletak setelah verb, tetapi ada kalanya berada di belakang indirect object.
Contoh:
I have read the news.
What has he read?
News
She bought some gifts.
What did she buy?
some gifts
He called his dad.
Whom did he call?
his dad
2. Indirect Object
Indirect object biasanya digunakan untuk menerangkan untuk apa atau untuk siapa (to whom, for whom, for what) sesuatu yang dilakukan oleh action verb dalam kalimat transitif. Indirect object dapat diletakkan sebelum direct object (terletak diantara verb dan direct object) atau dapat terletak setelah direct object dengan menambahkan to atau for.
Contoh:
She bought her friend some candies.
– direct object: some candies
(For whom did she buy some candies?)
– indirect object: her friend
Tom gave the phone to his father.
– direct object: the phone
– indirect object: his father
He bought you a bicycle.
– direct object: bicycle.
– indirect object: you
