Question

Can someone explain what is the difference between ''direct'' and ''indirect'' object?

Answer 1

A sentence which has two objects almost always means the following. One person does some action, then another person gets something. In this case, the 'another person' is an indirect object and the 'something' is a direct object.

My mother gave me a nice present.
(my mother gave ... then I got a nice present)
My father bought me a nice present.
(my father bought ...then I got a nice present)

Answer 2

I kind of got it....!

Answer 3

Which personal pronoun correctly completes the sentence? What is its use?

Mr. Reynolds is taking Troy and __________ to swim practice.

A.
they; direct object

B.
them; direct object

C.
them; indirect object

D.
they; indirect object

Answer 4

So then something like this..Would the answer be C?

Answer 5

You got it, good job. Another way to find the pronoun is to leave out "Troy and". It helps to see if you should put "them" or "they".
