What to watch:

Learning objectives

Identify subject, verb and object.
Trace an action from doer to receiver.
Use verb agreement with singular and plural subjects.
Distinguish SVO from subject–verb sentences without objects.

Key idea

Ask who or what acts? for S, identify the action for V, then ask verb + what or whom? for O. In The chef feeds the bird, chef acts, feeds is the action, and bird receives it.

Suggested experiments

Swap dog and cat to reverse the meaning.
Change Maya to students and observe verb agreement.
Compare Maya throws the ball with Birds fly.
Replace nouns with subject and object pronouns.

Common misconceptions

The first noun is not always the object.
Not every sentence has an object.
Adverbs and details do not change the core SVO skeleton.
Swapping S and O changes who acts and who receives.
