Objecthood Of The Sentence -- Direct, Indirect & Oblique Objects in Syntax

This video describes object/objecthood of the sentence. In syntax, an object is a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun that is affected by the action of a verb. Objects can function three ways within a sentence. The first two are easy to spot because they follow the verb:

Direct objects are the results of action. A subject does something, and the product is the object itself. For example, consider this sentence: "Marie wrote a poem." In this case, the noun "poem" follows the transitive verb "wrote" and completes the meaning of the sentence.
Indirect objects receive or respond to the outcome of an action. Consider this example: "Marie sent me an email." The pronoun "me" comes after the verb "sent" and before the noun "email," which is the direct object in this sentence. The indirect object always goes before the direct object.
Oblique objects are nouns and pronouns in a phrase that modifies the meaning of a verb. For instance: "Marie lives in a dorm." In this sentence, the noun "dorm" follows the preposition "in." Together, they form a prepositional phrase.
