In this lesson, Ashley explains the concepts of direct and indirect objects in sentences. She provides examples to illustrate how direct objects receive the action of a verb, while indirect objects refer to whom or for whom the action is done. The lesson also covers prepositional phrases and how they differ from indirect objects. Through examples from a beach trip, students learn to identify these grammatical elements. The lesson concludes with a summary and advice on understanding objects in sentences.
