Lesson 2: Action Verbs and Objects
Action verbs are often accompanied by words that complete their meaning. These complements are called direct objects or indirect objects.
Direct Objectnoun or a pronoun that names the receiver of a verb's action
Americans love the automobile.
Cars changed our society.
Indirect Objecttells to what or whom or for what or whom an action has been done
Sue gave her sisters a ride. Sue gave them a ride.
*If a preposition is in the sentence, the word that follows the preposition is NOT an Indirect Object, but an Object of the Preposition.

Transitive and Intransitive Verbs
An action verb that has a direct object is called a TRANSITIVE VERB.
An verb that does not have a direct object is called a INTRANSITIVE VERB.
Good drivers avoid accidents.
They stay alert.
Sometimes an intransitive verb is followed by a word that looks like a direct object, but it is really an adverb. An adverb tells where, when, how, or to what extent; a direct object answers the question who or what.
Some people drive trucks
Some people drive carelessly.
