    ancestors - direct object

    homes - direct object

    A direct object is the thing the action verb addresses. What do people honor? ancestors. The action verb honors first addresses the ancestors. What do families clean? homes. The action verb first addresses the homes.

    children - indirect object

    relatives - indirect object

    An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object. In the sentence "People give children red envelopes". The action verb give first addresses the envelopes THEN it goes to the children. The children receive the action of giving envelopes. In the sentence "Families cook dinner for their relatives." The relatives receive the dinner. Dinner is a direct object because it is first cooked. Then the dinner goes to the relatives.
