What is direct and indirect objects in grammar?
Hope you're doing well! My kiddo is studying about direct and indirect objects. Could you possibly give us a quick explanation or example? Nothing too elaborate, just a few sentences to help us out. Thanks a ton!

Hello! That's a great question. When we talk about a direct object, it’s just the thing that someone is doing something to. For example, in "She ate the cookie," the cookie is the direct object because it’s what she ate.
An indirect object is the person or thing that gets the direct object. So, in "She gave her friend a cookie," the friend is the indirect object because they got the cookie.
More examples:
Direct Object: Think of a sentence like, "She reads a book." The book is the direct object because it’s what she reads.
ndirect Object: In a sentence like, "She reads her brother a book," her brother is the indirect object because he’s the one who gets to hear the book being read.
I hope these examples make it easier to understand!
