•What do you notice about these sentences?
•What kind of action is there?
•What is the direct object? Are there two?
She gives the girl the money.
They show the slave the water
We entrust the money to the friends.
I shall announce the queen to the farmers.
•Why are these words highlighted?
•Can you reword the first two sentences?
•How do you think Latin will deal with this?
•With verbs of giving, showing, telling, entrusting
there will almost always be an indirect object.
•Very often, there will be both an indirect object and
a direct object.
•The direct object is the thing effected, or the
primary goal or object of the action of the verb.
•The indirect object is the secondary or indirect
effect of the action of the verb. It almost always in
this circumstance denotes personal interest.
Of course, Latin uses endings to denote the indirect object.
These endings are the endings of the
DATIVE CASE.
