What is the noun clause of this sentence Mrs Smith will loan whomever needs it money for lunch?

The direct object of the verb "will loan" is "money" (the complete direct object is the noun phrase "money for lunch").The indirect object is the noun clause "whomever needs it". However, the pronoun "whomever" is incorrect. Although the noun clause is functioning as an indirect object of the verb, the pronoun is the subject of the clause.The noun clause should read, "whoever needs it".

Is us a indirect object or a object of a preposition?

"Us" is a pronoun, and can be both an "indirect object pronoun", and the object of a preposition, all at the same time. For example, it ("us") is the *indirect object* of the sentence: "He gave it to us". And it is also the *object* of the preposition "to". A preposition always has an object - it is the thing that the preposition acts on. "to me..." "me" is the object of the preposition "to". "from home..." "home" is the object of the preposition "from". "according to dad..." "Dad" is the object of the preposition "according to". But this concept of "object" of a preposition has nothing to do with the concepts of "direct object" or "indirect object" of a sentence. Consider this sentence: "He gave the tickets to us in order to please our mother." The sentence uses the preposition "to" twice: First, with the *indirect object* pronoun "us" as its prepositional *object* (...he gave the tickets to us...). The word "to" is also used again to introduce the *adverbial phrase* "...in order to please our mother". In this adverbial phrase, the phrase "...please our mother" is the *object* of the preposition "to" used in the adverbial phrase. The entire adverbial phrase modifies the verb "gave" - and, of course and more importantly, is neither a direct object or an indirect object of the sentence. It's an adverbial phrase. And its also the "object" of the preposition "to". As you can see, the concept of "object" of a preposition does not have anything to do directly with the concept of "direct object" or "indirect object" of a sentence.


Subject intransive verb indirect object direct object and object compliment?

In a sentence, the subject is the performer of the action, the intransitive verb doesn't require a direct object to complete its meaning, the indirect object is the recipient who benefits from the action, the direct object receives the action, and the object complement provides more information about the direct object.
