The direct object
History of Deyse Joaquim - Espirito Santo, Brasil
The direct object is the complement that attaches to the transitive verb without the need to use a preposition (I read books, buy books, sell books). On the other hand, the indirect object is the complement that requires a preposition to attach to the transitive verb (I believe in you, I'm going to school, I need water). The main difference between these two structures is the requirement of the preposition in the indirect object; without her, he is meaningless. Already in the direct object, it is possible to use preposition, but it is not necessary... Did you know?
