Can you use country as a direct object in sentence?

You can use "country" as a direct object in a sentence, but it depends on the verb.

Here are some examples:

* Direct object: "The explorer visited a new country."

* Not a direct object: "The explorer lived in a country with beautiful landscapes."

In the first sentence, "country" is the direct object of the verb "visited." In the second sentence, "country" is part of a prepositional phrase ("in a country") and not the direct object.

Here's a breakdown:

* Direct object: The noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.

* Prepositional phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition (like "in," "on," "with," "at," etc.) and modifies another word in the sentence.

Here are some more examples of "country" used as a direct object:

* "They left the country."

* "She explored the country."

* "He loves his country."

However, some verbs don't take direct objects. For example:

* "He lives in a country." (The verb "lives in" doesn't take a direct object.)

So, while "country" can be a direct object, it depends on the verb in the sentence.
