Does the verb in this sentence have a direct object George was furious?

No. For a sentence to contain a direct object, the verb must be transitive (a type of action verb). "Was" is a linking verb, and "furious" is the subject complement. Subject complements and direct objects are not the same thing.


Can an indirect object be a direct object?

no an indirect obj must come between the subject and direct objFrom Kenwg:Actually, the direct object usually comes between the subject and the indirect object.Consider: "He gave the ball to us"He = subjectgave = verbthe ball = direct objectto = prepositionus = indirect object pronoun.Of course, you could say "He gave us the ball", in which case the positions of the direct and indirect objects are indeed reversed - "us", the indirect object, is between the subject and the direct object. But it is not correct to say the either "must" come in one position or the other.In Kenwg's first example, "to us" is a prepositional phrase, and "us" is a prepositional object rather than an indirect object.To the original questioner, I'm not sure. The best I can come up with off the top of my head is something like "John showed Dick[IO] Dick[DO].", where John might be holding a mirror up; but that has both objects being the same fellow. I don't believe an indirect object can actually be a direct object—not without being specified separately.See also Russell's paradox.The indirect object always goes before the direct object. The order shows which is the direct or indirect.The indirect object can be changed into a phrase beginning to or for .
