Is symbol indirect object or direct object?

The word "symbol" itself can't be classified as either a direct or indirect object without more context. Here's why:

* Objects need verbs: Direct and indirect objects are grammatical terms that describe the nouns or pronouns that receive the action of a verb. You need a verb in the sentence to determine if a word is a direct or indirect object.

Let's look at some examples:

Direct Object:

* "She painted a symbol on the canvas." (The verb is "painted," and "symbol" is the direct object receiving the action of painting.)

Indirect Object:

* "He gave her a symbol of his love." (The verb is "gave," "symbol" is the direct object, and "her" is the indirect object receiving the symbol.)

Neither:

* "The symbol represented hope." (The word "symbol" is the subject of the sentence.)

To determine whether "symbol" is a direct or indirect object, you need a sentence with a verb and context to understand the action.
