Direct object confusion
In the sentence " I know chemistry", chemistry is the direct object. But how does it work in the second case " I know Kevin is falling"? Is "Kevin is Falling" the direct object? And if so, why? I mean "Kevin is falling" is not a thing, it is an independent statement addressing what is going on with kevin, so how does that work. Can someone please explain this to me. Thanks
