Learning the different parts of a sentence can be confusing. However, you may need to learn how to do this to pass an English class. One of the parts of a sentence is the direct object. The direct object tells us who or what something was done to. Practicing how to identify this part of a sentence will not only help you use your own language well, it may also help you if you decide to learn a foreign language. | Learning the different parts of a sentence can be confusing.
