Day 53: Find the object of the verb or preposition.

The object in a sentence is the thing the action is done to or done for. An object may also be the thing to which a preposition refers.

Example 1: “Bob took his dog to the vet.” The action “took” is done to “dog,” so “dog” is the object.

Example 2: “Mary drove him to the house.” The object is “him.”

Example 3: “The vet gave the dog and me a treat.” This has three objects: “treat” (gave what?), “dog,” and “me” (gave it to whom?)

Object of a preposition:

Example 1: “Bob’s dog slept on the rug.” The preposition “on” refers to “rug,” so “rug” is the object of “on.”

Example 2: “The book is under me.” The preposition “under” refers to “me.” “Me” is the object of “under.”

Example 3: “I followed behind the dog and them.” This has two objects: “dog” and “them.”

One way to find an object is to ask “what,” as in “Mary drove what?” “Bob’s dog slept on what?” The answer to that question will be the object.
