Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct. The direct object in the sentence is "mother." Thank you for pointing out the error.

Answer 6

To find the direct object of a sentence, you need to identify the verb and ask yourself what or whom it is acting upon. In this sentence, the verb is "mailed." So, ask yourself what Tonya mailed. She mailed "a postcard." Therefore, the word "postcard" is the direct object of the sentence.
