karen
@ayyookyndall
@ShadowLegendX @Conqueror
What do you think the answer is?
umm b
Do you have any ideas ?
yes b
No...it's not A or B.
'Karen' is a person place or thing...that's impossible for it to be an adjective.
maybe c
NOOOO, 'skateboard' is the direct object. D:
What you should do is break down the question, and see what each word is. Did he give Karen his old skateboard? Did is a verb he is a pronoun you is a pronoun Give is a verb Karen is a noun His is a pronoun Old is an adjective skateboard is a noun
Yes, but he is looking for objects and predicates. @ShadowLegendX
So do you know what your answer is ? @gelow
oh so d
@Conqueror He just went down the line, he doesn't understand it.
Yes, it's D. Because...an indirect object is....a noun phrase referring to someone or something that is affected by the action of a transitive verb (typically as a recipient), but is not the primary object (e.g., him in give him the book ).
ok i see
and i am a girl @ShadowLegendX
Skateboard is the direct object as it's what the sentence is formed around. Karen is the indirect object as it's the "thing" in the sentence that indirectly relates to direct object.
Figured you were a girl because of that picture. :P
haha, forgive me @gelow ;P
