Transcript Indirect Objects


An indirect object precedes the direct
object and tells to whom or for whom the
action of the verb is done and who is
receiving the direct object. There must be a
direct object to have an indirect object.
Indirect objects are usually found with verbs
of giving or communicating like give, bring,
tell, show, take, or offer. An indirect object is
always a noun or pronoun which is not part
of a prepositional phrase.

 Sammy and Maria brought Jim his gift

INDERECT OBJECTS:
An indirect object precedes the direct object
and tells to whom or for whom the action of
the verb is done and who is receiving the
direct object. There must be a direct object

DIRECT OBJECTS:

A direct object will follow a transitive
verb[a type of action verb]. Direct
objects can be nouns, pronouns,
phrases, or clauses. If you can identify
the subject and verb in a sentence, then
finding the direct object—if one exists—is
easy. Just remember this simple formula.
› 1 Look at the sentence and decide what it is
about. If you are having trouble with this, ask
yourself who or what the action happening
to. For instance, if the sentence is "Amy gave
her friend the book." the subject is Amy.
Why? Because she is the one doing the
reading.
› 2 Find the verb connecting the subject to
what was done. In the example above, we
know that Amy "read" which is the action of
the sentence.
