Is Justin and Kenneth the direct object in sentence you saw at school yesterday?

It's impossible to determine if "Justin and Kenneth" are the direct object without the full sentence. Here's why:

* Direct objects receive the action of the verb. To figure this out, we need the verb.

* We need the whole sentence. For example:

* "You saw Justin and Kenneth at school yesterday." (Justin and Kenneth are the direct object)

* "You saw the play at school yesterday, and Justin and Kenneth were in it." (The play is the direct object)

Please provide the complete sentence, and I can help you identify the direct object.
