The indirect object is the thing/ person to or for whom the action is done, eg "Jim threw the ball to Sally." "Jim threw Sally the ball." Sally is the indirect object.
in the first one "Jim threw the ball to Sally." the ball is the id because its the one being thrown if im wrong though let me know.
An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that follows an action verb, receives the direct object, and answers the question: to whom, or to what?
Example: John sent his brother a postcard from the hotel. John sent the postcard, he didn't send his brother. postcard is the direct object. John sent the postcard TO his brother; brother is the indirect object.
Example sentences:
My boyfriend brought flowers for me. (the direct object is flowers; the indirect object is me)
Maggie bought a new car with her refund. (the direct object is car; the indirect object is refund)
A direct object in a sentence is the person or thing which is the "receiver " of the action of the verb.
Example:
I gave my dog a bone.
Example:
I called a taxi for him.
In the sentence, "Give me the phone." Your direct object is "the phone" an your indirect object would be "me".
In the sentence, "Show the dentist your tooth." The indirect object would be "the dentist".
In the sentence I wrote a letter to my parents, letter is the direct object of the verb and parents is the indirect object. The distinction is that the direct object "receives" the action of the verb directly, while the indirect object "receives" the action indirectly, through a preposition ( which may be understood in some constructions).
In a sentence, the subject is the person or thing that is the source of the action implied by the verb, the direct object is the person or thing that is the receiver of the action implied by the verb, and an indirect object is the person or thing that is the reason behind the action. For example, in the sentence "Johngoes to a restaurant for dinner", John is the subject (he is the one 'going'), restaurant is the direct object (it receives the act of 'going'), and dinner is the indirect object (it is the thing for which all this 'going' is happening).
For example, he gives her a card. Here in the sentence the card is a direct object while her is the indirect object.
There is no indirect object in this sentence. Time is the direct object of need, and project is the direct object of finish.
Any noun can function as an indirect object. A noun is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Example sentence for the noun 'president' as indirect object: The minister brought the president some bad news. (the direct object is 'news', the indirect object is 'president')
A compound indirect object is more than one indirect object. "We gave Martha and Bob many presents." ("presents" is the direct object, "Martha and Bob" is the compound indirect object)
The direct object is 'lessons'. The indirect object is 'tourists'.
indirect object
no
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.
The indirect object is "her"; "the magazine" is the direct object.
what is the indirect object
Example sentence:I wrote you this sentence. (direct object is 'sentence, indirect object is the personal pronoun 'you')
The indirect object is "hikers".
There is no indirect object in the sentence "we recycle newspapers." The sentence contains a subject "we," a verb "recycle," and a direct object "newspapers."
A sentence must have a subject and a main verb. It may also have an indirect object: This book is for you.
Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
Not exactly, but the subject of a passive sentence can be the indirect object of the equivalent active sentence--e.g. "Martha" in "Martha was given a rose by George" would be the indirect object in "George gave Martha a rose."
I gave my dog a bone ('my dog' = indirect object; 'a bone' = direct object). They called me a taxi. (taxi - direct object, me- indirect object)
