How the direct and indirect object quiz works

Students often mix up direct and indirect objects, so a grammar quiz on direct and indirect objects works best when it is built around your own class material. Upload a worksheet, lesson slides or notes and the generator writes questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.

Identify the direct object by asking what receives the verb's action.
Identify the indirect object by asking to whom or for whom the action is done.
Check that a sentence with an indirect object also has a direct object.
Retake only the questions you missed until each explanation makes sense.

Example direct and indirect object quiz questions

In 'She handed her brother the keys,' which word is the indirect object?Her brother. It names who received the keys, while 'the keys' is the direct object being handed over.

True or false: In 'I wrote him a letter,' 'a letter' is the indirect object.False. 'A letter' is the direct object, the thing written, and 'him' is the indirect object, the recipient.

Identify the direct object: 'The chef cooked dinner.'Dinner. It is the noun that receives the action of the verb 'cooked' directly.

Which sentence contains an indirect object? (a) She sang a song. (b) She sang to the crowd. (c) She sang the crowd a song.(c). 'The crowd' receives the song, so it is the indirect object; in (b) 'to the crowd' is a prepositional phrase, not an indirect object.

Name the direct and indirect objects in 'Grandma mailed us postcards.'Direct object: postcards. Indirect object: us. 'Us' is the recipient of the postcards.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell a direct object from an indirect object?

Find the verb, then ask what or whom receives the action to find the direct object. Ask to whom or for whom to find the indirect object, which usually sits between the verb and the direct object.

Can a sentence have an indirect object without a direct object?

No, an indirect object names the recipient of something, so the sentence also needs a direct object for the thing being given, sent or made. Sentences with only a direct object are common and perfectly grammatical.

How many questions should a grammar quiz on direct and indirect objects include?

Ten to fifteen questions cover the main sentence patterns well, mixing identification with sentence writing. Start with a short set, then retake the items you missed.
