Our printable set of IO/DO worksheets aims to develop in children the ability to pick out direct objects, compound direct objects, and indirect objects in sentences that are full of lively contexts good enough to hold the interest and enthusiasm of kids throughout. Direct and indirect objects are nouns or noun phrases that constitute the predicate part of the sentence. Objects can affect the structure of a sentence, i.e., the way we build a sentence; hence, a focused practice is required to use them appropriately. For instance, in "Anna bought a hat.", and "Anna bought her friend a hat.", the first sentence has just a direct object "hat", while the second sentence has "her friend" an indirect object, and "hat" a direct object.

These free pdf worksheets on direct and indirect objects are designed for children of grade 4, grade 5, and grade 6.
