Can it be more than one direct object in sentence?

Yes, a sentence can have more than one direct object. This happens when the verb in the sentence is able to take multiple direct objects. Here's how it works:

Direct Object: A direct object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.

Examples:

* She bought a book and a magazine. (The direct objects are "book" and "magazine".)

* The teacher gave the students homework and a test. (The direct objects are "homework" and "a test".)

* He wrote a letter and sent it. (The direct objects are "letter" and "it".)

Important Note:

* Not all verbs can take multiple direct objects. For example, you can't say "He ate a burger and a drink and a cake," because "ate" only takes one direct object.

* When a verb can take multiple direct objects, they usually refer to similar things. For instance, in "She bought a book and a magazine," both "book" and "magazine" are types of reading materials.
