Generally, intransitive verbs - which, of course, are defined as verbs which do not take a direct object. To hit is a transitive verb. In Fred hits Charlie, Charlie is the direct object. To go is intransitive. In Fred goes to London, London is an indirect object. Of course, transitive verbs can have both a direct and an indirect object; in Fred buys a present for Charlie, the present is a direct object and Charlie is the indirect object.
A direct object will follow a transitive verb [a type of action verb]. Direct objects can be nouns, pronouns, phrases, or clauses. If you can identify the subject and verb in a sentence, then finding the direct object-if one exists-is easy. Just remember this simple formula: subject + verb + what? or who? = direct object
The direct object (object) comes after the indirect object
I gave my dog a bone ('my dog' = indirect object; 'a bone' = direct object).
They called me a taxi. (taxi - direct object, me- indirect object)
That entirely depends on the sentence.
It could be a form of punctuation. Examples:
There could be another direct object. Example:
Perhaps there's another independent clause. Example:
The possibilities are endless. There aren't any strict grammar rules regarding what follows a direct object.

A direct object follows an action verb. A predicate nominative or predicate adjective follows a linking verb.
The two kinds of complements are subject complements(which follow a linking verb) renaming the subject, and object complements (which follow a direct object) renaming the direct object.Subject complement: Ms. Burns is my new teacher.Object complement: This is my new teacher, Ms. Burns.
An indirect object doesn't ask, an indirect object tellswho or what gets the direct object. Example:Let's buy some flowers. What will we buy? Flowers, the direct object of the verb buy.Let's buy mom some flowers. What will we buy? Flowers, the direct object. And, who gets the direct object (flowers)? Mom gets the flowers; mom is the indirect object.An indirect object can follow the verb, coming before the direct object; or the indirect object can be the object of a preposition: Let's buy some flowers for mom.
False as presented: the direct object does not necessarily follow the verb. For example we may say This book I like; this book I don't like.
object
"You were in the mountains" does not have a direct object.

Nothing, a Direct Object, or an Indirect Object with a following Direct Object. Any of these three are possible.

A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of an action verb. It must follow an action verb and answers the question what or whom about that action verb. Example. Mary loves meatloaf. Meatloaf is the direct object, as it follows the action verb "loves" and answers the question: loves what? Meatloaf.
"You were in the mountains" does not have a direct object.
The verb does not have a direct object in the sentence, "She is insecure."
