Question

Is the phrase in bold a direct object, an indirect object, or neither?
The police officer personally carried the stolen jewellery to the evidence room.

Answer 1

In the sentence "The police officer personally carried the stolen jewellery to the evidence room," the phrase in bold, "the stolen jewellery," is a direct object. It answers the question of what the police officer carried. The prepositional phrase "to the evidence room" indicates the location but does not change the role of the direct object.
