PLS HELP!!!!!!!!

What is the direct object in the following sentence?


Daniel, please lay the keys on the table.

The direct object is keys.
The direct object is table.
There is no direct object.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The keys

Explanation:

Keys is the object that is directly receiving the action; it cannot replace or describe the noun. (Keys is not Daniel.)

Table is an object of the preposition, since on is the preposition. That means on the table is just a prepositional phrase, and is not part of the S-Vt-DO sentence.

Therefore, the noun is Daniel, the verb-transitive is Daniel, and the Direct Object is keys.
