How is the word whom used?

Whom is used when the question you are asking refers to the direct object of a sentence. It is often helpful to think of what the answer is. If the answer will be the direct object, whom is needed. If the answer is the subject of the sentence, who is needed. Ex. Who is going to the party? Bob is going to the party. (Bob is the subject of the sentence.) Ex. Whom are you taking with to the party? I am taking Joe to the party. (I is now the subject of the sentence, and Joe is the direct object.)


What are the Direct and Indirect objects in these sentences' Joe owes Jim five bucks' Joe owes Jim' is there something wrong here?

Nothing wrong. "Jim" is the indirect object because he is who the bucks are owed to. The direct object is "bucks" because that is what is owed. However, if I put the direct object in a prepositional phrase (Like "to Jim"), the whole phrase becomes a modifier (of "bucks" in the example) and does not effect the sentence, leaving it without an indirect object. ex: Joe owes five bucks to Jim.


What does transitive an intransitive mean?

These are two types of verbs. Transitive verbs show action, and they must have a direct object. For example: David hit Joe three times during the fight. The transitive verb is "hit"-- it shows an action, and the direct object (the person who received that action) is Joe. David is the subject-- the doer of the action. Another example: Mrs. Jones hugged her grandson. The transitive verb is "hugged." Mrs. Jones is the subject (she did it), and her grandson is the object, the receiver of the action. An intransitive verb is different in one important way: while it does show action, it has no direct object. For example: We traveled for ten hours. The verb is "traveled" but there is no receiver of this action. Or, Mr. Jones went to the movie. The verb is "went" but nobody did anything other than Mr. Jones, and he is the subject of the sentence.


Can you have a compound indirect object sentence?

Yes. Marcy sold Joe and his little brother three pizzas for her fundraiser. Marcy is the subject. Pizza is the direct object, because Marcy is selling the pizza's "directly." Who did she sell them to? Joe and his little brother. Thus, Joe and brother are the indirect objects.


What are the different kinds of basic sentence patterns?

Sentence patterns are determined by how the subject, verb, and objects are used. There are from 7 to 10 depending on your source, because linking verbs may be considered as separate patterns. The basic 5 are:Subject + Verb I swim. Joe swims. They swam.Subject + Verb + Object I drive a car. Joe plays the guitar. They ate dinner.Subject + Verb + Complement I am busy. Joe became a doctor. They look sick.Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object I gave her a gift. She teaches us English.Subject + Verb + Object + Complement(see the related link)
