No, the function words are not an indirect object. Function words include prepositions, conjunctions, articles, and pronouns that serve as structural elements in a sentence, rather than indicating relationships between the subject and the object.
In the sentence, the indirect object typically receives the direct object. Some common words that function as an indirect object include pronouns like 'him,' 'her,' 'them,' or nouns that come after the verb and before the direct object, such as 'Mary' in "I gave Mary the book."
The indirect object is 'you', as 'a cake' will always retain its function of direct object, no matter its position within the sentence.
The noun 'story' can be used for any function of a noun, the subject of a sentence, the direct object or indirect object of a verb, and the object of a preposition. Examples: Subject: The story was a good one. Direct object: Grandma told a story of her childhood. Indirect object: What is the name of the story? (object of the preposition 'of')
"May" can function as a modal verb indicating possibility or permission. It is not an indirect object, subject, direct object, or verb phrase.
Nouns in the objective case function as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition.Examples:Aunt Jane made cookies for the children. (the noun 'cookies' is the direct object of the verb 'made')Aunt Jane made the children cookies. (the noun 'children' is the indirect object of the verb 'made')Aunt Jane made cookies for the children. (the noun 'children' is the object of the preposition 'for')
