Objective Case
Objective Case
Example:
In the above example, pepper is the direct object and we can say that it is
existing or functioning as an objective case in the above sentence.
A noun or pronoun can exist in three states of objective case; direct object,
indirect object and object of pronoun.
Direct Object
When a noun or pronoun is existing as a direct object i.e. the word on which the
verb is acting upon, it is referred to as direct object.
Example:
In the above sentence, the verb likes is acting upon the noun soup so that depicts
that soup is existing in objective case.
Indirect Object
The secondary object of the sentence is known as the indirect object. The indirect
object is the one which receives activity from the direct object. Simple trick to
identify the indirect object of the sentence is by identifying the direct object
and asking the question what or who?
Example:
In the above example, the direct object is heart which we figured out by asking
felt what? (felt=verb). Now ask heart what? answer: beat faster. Thus beat faster
is the indirect object of this sentence and is existing as objective case in this
sentence.
