Who Gets What? Direct & Indirect Objects for Class 5 

This Class 5 grammar worksheet on Direct and Indirect Objects teaches children how to identify the receiver of an action (indirect object) and what is being acted upon (direct object). Using clear examples and visuals from the worksheet pages 3–8, students learn to spot both objects in real sentences like My mom made me a sandwich or The teacher gave the student a pencil.

The worksheet includes underlining tasks, MCQs, rewriting sentences using correct object identification, a descriptive passage using classroom vocabulary, and a paragraph-writing prompt. The illustrated passage on page 8 features classroom items such as a cool breeze, a tiny box, a colourful craft, echoing bell, scattered materials, and drying brushes—ideal for applying object identification in context.

This worksheet helps young writers understand sentence structure and builds confidence in reading and writing.

Why Direct & Indirect Objects Matter in Grammar? 

This concept is essential for Class 5 because: 
1. It improves understanding of how actions move from subject → indirect object → direct object. 
2. It strengthens sentence construction and grammar accuracy. 
3. It builds foundation for writing stories, letters, and descriptions. 
4. It supports stronger comprehension skills for middle school.
