Huh, alright. For some reason these questions really confuse me. Would you mind explaining how you find direct, indirect, and object of preposition? I'll give you a fan or w/e it is :P. And thanks for the help :)

OpenStudy (joshawad):

so Mother is the... mother is a ... because she a noun which makes her the D.O

OpenStudy (joshawad):

OpenStudy (girlgoyleh.):

It was actually indirect object. Indirect object is whats receiving whatever they're talking about. in this case, the mother is reading to who? him. for the people who need it
