Question

@openstudy This section (and pretty much every section besides math), is absolute trash. Just gives me false hope of possibly getting help on English, but alas, help will never be given. Just change openstudy to a math help website.

Answer 1

do you need help in English? Maybe you are not asking when the right people are on.

Answer 2

I could help

Answer 3

Nobody helpful is ever in this section. I can never seem to get an help on any questions.

Answer 4

Well whats your question? I do very well in English. I actually take my english classes at a college and im only a sophmore.

Answer 5

I would disagree I think math has to much drama, and I try to help with what I can, but ya know I can't know everything...but anyway

Whats your question...I will try to help!

Answer 6

Have you read "The Ramayana" or "My Father Writes to My Mother"?

Answer 7

No. sorry. See if you had an essay, I could revise it or if you needed grammar help or vocab. I dont have a library in my head.

Answer 8

I am very helpful in English and Writing... Instead of writing up a sad sob story just send me a message... lol

Answer 9

Ok how about this
Decide how the bold-faced pronoun is used in the sentence.

"Whom" did you ask to read these announcements? (1 point)
subject
direct object
object of a preposition (my answer)

Answer 10

"Whom" being the bold word

Answer 11

object of a preposition. why would you ask if you knew the answer?

Answer 12

I was not sure if it was correct or not.

Answer 13

anymore, darlin?

Answer 14

NO

Answer 15

Decide how the pronoun is used in the sentence:

Just today Terry bought a picture for her.
direct object
indirect object (my answer)
object of a preposition

correct?

Answer 16

how is that an object of prep. ther is no preposition it's in!

Answer 17

it is clearly a direct object

Answer 18

itd be direct object right?

Answer 19

"to" is a preposition

Answer 20

yah but whom is not supposed to be in the prep. phrase there...

Answer 21

Kirk just seems so mad, im gonna go with whatever unless im allowed to tell him hes wrong

Answer 22

Answer 23

obviously I would like to know if i'm right or not

Answer 24

the first one is direct object
second one is object of prep.

Answer 25

IM SORRY...

Answer 26

I just dont want to piss people off..

Answer 27

my answers are correct and if you are not sure I can explain why. just ask

Answer 28

Yeah, can you please explain the first one?

Answer 29

why wouldnt the second one be indirect object?

Answer 30

just pipe down and i will teach guys

Answer 31

ok in the fist sentence we must separate the parts...

"Whom" did you ask to read these announcements?

Subject:You
Verb: did ask
a direct object is the noun that receives the action... you tell me what is receiving the action here???...obviously WHOM

now lastly we have a prep. phrase that we set off:
to read these announcements

any questions on that one?

Answer 32

Hmm I guess it makes sense.

Answer 33

actually i made a mistake. the phrase "to read these announcements" is NOT even prepostion...it's an infinitive phrase... so yah other than that it's all correct

let me know when you are ready for me to explain the next one.

Answer 34

Yeah, I'm ready

Answer 35

ok here we go

Just today Terry bought a picture for her.

Subject: Terry
Verb: bought
Direct Object: picture
preposition phrase here is "for her"
and those other word, Just today are adverbs...

Here is the confusion you are having.
You think it is Indirect object but it is not.
Sometimes sentences like these are arranged differently like this:

Just today Terry bought her a picture.

It's pretty much the same thing except no prep phrase.

WATCH CAREFULLY WHEN NOTICING SENTENCE PATTERNS AND PARTS.

Indirect Objects and Direct Objects are NEVER found in Prepositional Phrases.

If you have any questions shoot.
