Direct Object

Hi everyone!

Does the word confirm in this statement needs a direct object?
e.g. Please retest on your end and confirm.

Thanks!

Anonymous Do es the word confirm in this statement needs need a direct object? You already have -s on the auxiliary 'do'. Don't put it on the main verb as well.
