pooja195 (pooja195):

is the word "Us" plural or singular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plural

@Deadpool117

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, i think you are correct

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

While the word is plural, I believe it is a single indirect object. To me, for there to be indirect objects it would need to be more than one word. Let me do an example: Did the witness give the detective or sargent a statment? In this example, detective and sargent are both direct objects, which is plural because there are two of them.
