What is the direct object in this sentence Renaldo showed you his skateboard yesterday?

"you""You" is the direct object of the sentence "Renaldo showed you his skateboard yesterday". This is shown by the grammaticality of a corresponding passive:"You were shown his skateboard by Renaldo yesterday", since being made subject of a passive is a good test for whether a noun phrase is a direct object.But the function of the "you" is that of indirect object, as can be seen in the related sentence "Renaldo showed his skateboard to you yesterday", which has the direct object "his skateboard", and the related passive for this sentence has the original direct object as subject: "His skateboard was shown to you by Renaldo yesterday.So, what has happened here is that the original indirect object, "to you", has be converted into a direct object, "you", which is then subject to passivization.Some speakers of English also accept the passive made by passivizing the old direct object instead of the direct object derived from the indirect object: ?"His skateboard was shown you yesterday by Renaldo".

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].
