@sisi1197

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it could be "B"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, B do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes B!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bcause direct objects ask what or whom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yepp! See you knew it :) Haha! goodluck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How is the underlined pronoun used in the sentence? Mother reads him three stories before bedtime. A. indirect object B. direct object C. object of a preposition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The underlined word is him

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think it is and why? I'll tell you if your right and help you understand if you don't get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's either A or C. I think it could be "A" because direct objects ask to whom or for whom/to or for what? And I think it could be "c" because

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont really know what it is.. Well i thin it's the correct way to use a word... Like for instance.. julia and (I,me) went to the park

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I think it could be A more than C.. So im going with A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B because he's the one the action is happening to. You know? The to whom or for whom applies there. He's the direct object. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOu mean indirect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No? It's the same as the first one. Because he is the one being read to, we said in the first one the direct object is the to whom or for whom?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said direct object is what or whom.. Then I said indirect is to or for whom//to or for what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sisi1197 are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry! Yes they are both direct I promise. In the first one "I" get bit by mosquitoes, and in the second one he gets read three stories, I looked uo the definition of direct object, it's the to whom or for whom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

di·rect ob·ject noun noun: direct object; plural noun: direct objects a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb, for example the dog in Jimmy fed the dog.
