Question

Which word in the sentence is the direct object?

Do farmers still plant crops in those fields?
a. crops
b. fields
c. plant
d. farmers

Answer 1

a. Crops

Step-by-step explanation:

Crops is the Direct Object or DO because it can't replace or describe the noun.

Answer 2

The direct object is what fills the gap of :

THE_SUBJECT +verb+ _______

So for example

Klara (Subject) loves (verb) kittens (direct object).

In our sentence this is equivalent to "crops":

Farmers (subject) plant (verb) crops (direct objects)
