Hello teachers,
me and a friend of mine are learning for our state exams and there are things which are not quite clear to us. The first question regards the direct object. In the sentence:
- He wanted to keep his job. - Is the direct object "to keep his job" or is it only "his job" ?
And the second question is about auxiliary and main verbs. We basically understand what auxiliaries and main verbs are, but what about the sentece -
- I dont want to know it. - "dont" is auxiliary, but is the main verb "want" or is it "to know"?
Please, help us out.
Thank you in advance
