Some examples of this structure subject plus transitive verb plus indirect object plus direct object?
Some examples of verbs that can be used in the structure: [subject] [verb] [indirect object] [direct object] * bake - He baked her a cake. * make - He made her a… present. * buy - He bought her a present. * hire - He hired her a car. * lend - He lent her some money. * send - He sent her a letter. * give - He gave her a cake. * show - He showed her the answer. * write - He wrote her a letter. * read - He read her the letter. * ask - He asked her a question. * tell - He told her the answer. These verbs usually have meanings that are about transferring something from one person to another (a physical item or a piece of information). You will find more if you do a search for ditransitive verbs. Most of these verbs can also appear in structures in which the direct object appears before the indirect object: With preposition 'for' introducing the indirect object: * He baked/made/bought/hired something for her. With preposition 'to' introducing the indirect object: * He lent/sent/gave/showed/wrote/read something to her. Note: There are also verbs like 'bet' which can take four arguments: * [He] bet [her] [a thousand dollars] [that his team would win]. (MORE)

Can a verb be a subject of another verb?
well i don't know if it can be a subject but i know it can be a adverb like if you were saying......."she quietly looked at..... QUIET is a verb that describes the verb LOOK …The answer to this question is a qualified "Yes." In order for a subject to BE the subject, it has to be a noun or pronoun. That said, with a little effort (very little, in fact) it is possible to 'tweak' and morph a verb into a noun... or at least a subject. This is most easily done by using the gerund form of the verb; the '-ing' ending. Example: Having is not holding. Having is the subject. Is is the verb. In this case, 'holding' is a predicate nominative (!). Another usual method is to use the infinitive of the verb as the subject. Example: To breathe is a natural imperative. To breathe is the subject. It is also the infinitive of the verb. Is is the predicate/verb. The foregoing are normal English conventions wherein a verb (or a form of it) is used as the subject of another verb. A conjugated verb might be used as a subject in a discussion of grammar. Example: 'Have' is appropriate for use in all persons of the conjugation except the 3rd person singular. Have is the subject. Is is the predicate/verb. (MORE)
