Parts of a Sentence

 Types of Objects

❑ The object in a sentence can be either direct or indirect.

❑ Direct objects are the ones directly ‘acted on’ by the action
word (verb).
❑ If the verb is ‘read’ and we ask “What does Divya read?” The
answer is ‘book’ which is the direct object.
❑ A direct object answers the question ‘What?’.

 Types of Objects
❑ An indirect object answers questions, such as ‘to whom’
and ‘for whom’.
❑ For example, in the sentence “Abdul gave a gift to his
mother.” The verb is ‘gave’. There are two objects here —
‘gift’ and ‘mother’.
❑ What did Abdul give? The gift. To whom did Abdul give
the gift? To his mother. Here, ‘gift’ is the direct object and
‘his mother’ is the indirect object.
❑ Some sentences only have direct objects while some have
both direct and indirect objects.

Types of Sentences (Active and Passive)
The action (verb) in both the
sentences is breaking of the
glass. But the ‘subject’ of both
sentences is different.

In the first sentence, the subject

(Sanjay) does the action.
In the second sentence, the
subject (the glass) receives the
action.

 Types of Sentences (Active and Passive)
Sentences where the
subject does an action are
known to be in the
Active voice.

Sentences in which the

subject receives an action
are known to be in the
Passive voice.

 Paragraphs
❑ A group of sentences forms a paragraph. While writing
a paragraph, make sure that the sentences have a
common idea.
❑ When you want to write about a different idea, make a
new paragraph. For example, if you are writing about
your school, the first paragraph can be of sentences
about the name, location, size and other such details.
❑ In the next paragraph you can use sentences to
describe what you like about your school.
