While the subject of a sentence performs an action, the object receives the action. For this reason, an object usually follows a verb. (They're just not the leading type.)
Want an easy way to remember subjects and objects? Just remember this mantra: "I worship Shmoop." You are the one doing the worshipping, and we are the object of your adoration.
We feel so loved right now. All we want to do is hug you.
Verbs have two types of objects:
- Direct
- Indirect
Note: Pretty much only non-linking verbs can take objects. If the verb functions like an equal sign, then the noun phrase in the predicate is really a complement. Keep clicking for more.
