| 释义 | objects ◊ GRAMMAR direct objects The object of a verb or clause is a noun group which refers to the person or thing that is involved in an action but does not perform the action. The object comes after the verb. It is sometimes called the direct object. He closed the door. It was dark by the time they reached their house. Some of the women noticed me. ◊ indirect objects Some verbs have two objects. For example in the sentence 'I gave John the book', 'the book' is the direct object, and 'John' is the indirect object. The indirect object usually refers to the person who benefits from an action or receives something as a result of it. You can put an indirect object in front of the direct object or in a prepositional phrase after the direct object. Dad gave me a car. He handed his room key to the receptionist.
