OpenStudy (godlovesme):

sorry idk :(

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

You're fine no worries

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Do you know @k_lynn

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Just a second.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Okai I think B

OpenStudy (inowalst):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

A direct object answers the question to whom of for whom. *She loaned the markers to whom?* A: Larry. So what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Yeah but wouldn't the box of markers be the direct object?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

No, box of markers wouldn't be the direct object because it doesn't answer the question to or for whom. That's what a direct object was. I think the "box of markers" would be an indirect object.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Ok i get it now

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

:D

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Ya, I got that answer out of my English handbook. If you have one, I'm assuming it's in there.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Yeah i do

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Okie doke. So there's probably whole sections describing direct objects, indirect objects, predicate adjectives, and predicate nominatives.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

She did loan WHAT? her box of markers - Direct object. To whom is the indirect object, so what would that be?

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

There are

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Direct object A direct object answers the question "what?" or "whom?" Examples: David repaired his car → his car is the direct object of the verb repaired. ( What did David repair?) He invited Mary to the party → Mary is the direct object of the verb invited. (Whom did he invite?) Indirect Object An indirect object answers the question "to whom?", "for whom?", "for what?"... An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise affected participant in the event. There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence. In other words an indirect object cannot exist without a direct object. Examples: They sent him a postcard - him is the indirect object of the verb sent. (To whom did they send a postcard?) He bought his son a bike - his son is the indirect object of the verb bought. (For whom did he buy a bike?)
