COMPARECompare your answers to your neighbor’s answers to see if you identified the same direct objects.

“I labeled ________ as a direct object because __________.”

CORRECT ANSWERGive me a carefully reasoned

argument, and I will give you a debate.

(You), I = subject (the “who” or “what” of the verb)

give, give = transitive verb (takes a direct object)

argument, debate = direct objects (follows an action verb; think “subject, verb, what?”)

me, you = indirect object (comes before a direct object and after the verb)
