How is the pronoun used?


The coaches cancelled afternoon practice for __________ and the managers.

A.
us; indirect object

B.
us; object of a preposition

C.
we; indirect object

D.
we; object of a preposition

Answer 1

well, can you for the least part tell me if it is "us" or "we" ?

Answer 2

Us

Answer 3

yes, that is correct. Now, "us" should be either an indirect object or an onject of a preposition.

Answer 4

indirect?

Answer 5

Indirect object is the person or thing who preforms the action.
Like,
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm indirect~~object }\) \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \rm direct~~object }\)

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm David }\) gave us some \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \rm fish }\).
Why did \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm you }\) kill \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \rm it}\)?

Answer 6

and "us" (the narrators, in this case) are not performing the action.

Answer 7

So, object of preposition?

Answer 8

How do you use color fonts?

Answer 9

No I wouldn't call that an object of a preposition. I would perhaps just go with indirect object. although I am actually not sure if any option is correct.

And the latex I used is:
`\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm like~~this }\)` becomes, \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm like~~this }\).

Answer 10

Thank you

Answer 11

Thank you.

Answer 12

indirect object is actually right.

Answer 13

I confused the definition. What I said the indirect object to be, is a direct one, and a vica versa.
