Before we learn what are direct object and indirect object, let us understand what is an object. Object is the receiver of an action. It means a subject does something to an object. An object is either a person or a thing that gets influenced by the action of a subject.  An object comes after a verb.  - You invited him . - He tells  a story . In the above given sentences, 'him' and 'a story' are objects, as they come after verbs 'invited' and 'tells' respectively, and they receive the actions. The object 'him' talks about someone who is benefited by the action, whereas the object 'a story' talks about something that gets affected by the action. Direct Object & Indirect Object When an object directly receives the action, it is a  direct object. - She explained the rules . - He told a lie . In the sentences above, 'the rules' and 'a lie' are direct objects, as they directly receive the actions. When an object receives a ...

An adjective/ an adverb has three degrees: positive, comparative & superlative. Today, we will learn how to convert one degree to another one.

To learn English composition, it is important to know various types of sentences. We should also learn how to form these sentences. Let us see the following sentences: He plays football. - ( Simple sentence ) He plays football, and his brother supports him. - ( Compound sentence ) He plays football, when he gets time. - ( Complex sentence ) The first sentence is very simple, and it has only one finite verb ' plays '. A finite verb is a verb-form that shows agreement with the subject. In this sentence, the verb ' plays ' agrees with the singular subject 'He'. So, He plays football is a simple sentence .  And we can say: A simple sentence is a single sentence. Further, the second and the third sentences are formed by combining two sentences each. The second sentence has two finite verbs: plays and supports . The third sentence also has two finite verbs: plays and gets . So, there are not simple sentences. The second is a compound sentence, and the third is a co...
