Action Verbs and Direct Objects

6th Grade•30 minutes

Learning Objective

I can identify action verbs and direct objects in sentences.

Nouns, proper nouns, and pronouns can all serve as direct objects in a sentence.

A direct object is a noun that receives the action of the verb.

To find the direct object, ask yourself who or what receives the action of the verb in the sentence.

This lesson includes 3 practice questions to reinforce learning.
