 Concerning objects:
-*Although a direct object may be a group of words, it will never be a prepositional phrase.
-*An indirect object may be found in a prepositional phrase.
 *Generally, the subject is completing an action, the direct object is being acted on, and the verb is in the active voice.
 *Not all sentences will have direct or indirect objects.
 *A sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object.
+*Objects should not be confused with subject complements.
