What is a compound direct object?

A compound direct object is a grammatical structure in which a sentence contains two or more direct objects that are connected by a coordinating conjunction, typically "and" or "or." These direct objects receive the action of the verb and answer the question "what" or "whom." The compound direct object adds variety and complexity to a sentence by including multiple objects. For example, in the sentence "She bought a book and a pen," "book" and "pen" are the compound direct objects as they both receive the action of the verb "bought."
