This week we will be working on:
Action Verbs; Direct Objects
An action verb tells what the subject does or did.
Example:
Manuel pantomimed to a familiar song.
Mr. Roybal ripped the needle across the record.
_______________________________________________________
A direct object is a noun or pronoun in the predicate that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question What? or Whom?
Example:
A coordinator seeks volunteers for a talent show.
Some contestants practice their acts for weeks.
