Direct object

Hello,
When there are two objects with a verb, we usually call them direct and indirect objects.
IF the verb has only one object either a pronoun or any thing, then the object is called a "direct object" or a "object" only.

1. I wrote a letter.

object = "a letter", Can we call it as direct object?

I invited them.

"them"= direct object or object

Could any one here explain it?

Thanks.

In both sentences, the word you are talking about is the direct object. If there is no possibility of doubt, we may simply call it the 'object'.

We just call letter' the object of the verb 'wrote'.

The same applies for the other one as well.
