Antecedent: A noun (or other pronoun) that is referred to by a pronoun in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "Sara bought a book. She loves reading it," "Sara" is the antecedent of the pronoun "She," and "book" is the antecedent of the pronoun "it."
Direct object: The noun or pronoun that receives the action of a transitive verb in a sentence. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after the verb. For example, in the sentence "John kicked the ball," "ball" is the direct object.
Indirect object: The noun or pronoun that is indirectly affected by the action of a verb in a sentence. It answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?" after the verb and before the direct object. For example, in the sentence "Mary gave me a gift," "me" is the indirect object.
Object of the preposition: A noun or pronoun that follows a preposition and completes its meaning. For example, in the sentence "I walked to the store," "store" is the object of the preposition "to."
