Question

Which word in the sentence is the indirect object?

I gave Serena some flowers.

A.
flowers

B.

C.

D.
I

Answer 1

First you find the subject.....it is " I ".
Then you find the verb......it is " gave "
Then you ask the question " gave WHAT ? " .... flowers --- this is your direct object.
Then you ask the question " gave TO WHOM ? " ......Serena ... this is your indirect object.
Always keep in mind, there has to be a direct object for there to be an indirect object...so if there is no DO, then there is no IO.
