The Direct Object

Authors

  • Shkelqim Millaku

Abstract

The direct object is the structure contained within the predicate. It is typical the noun phrase that follows the verb, although indirect object and subject complements can also occupy this position, as you will see it shortly in this paper. The direct and indirect object has some characteristics in common, and this is the fact that can justify their sharing the term object. Like the subject, the direct object is normally a noun phrase or a nominal clause. In Albanian and English language we have the direct object (indirect object) and it is possible to show by the nouns, pronouns, phrases or clauses (nominal clause) that receive the action of the transitive verb. The direct object is the structure contained within the predicate.

Keywords: Simple sentence, contrast, the direct object, nouns, pronouns, phrases or clauses (nominal clause), structure.
