OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

What's the subject?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

(of the sentence)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pitcher helped

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

subject is the pitcher. what is the verb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

greatly

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

No, the verb is the action the subject takes. What does the pitcher do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

helped the team

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Here's an example of the simplest possible sentence: <subject> <verb> Bob farted. Bob is the subject, farted is the verb. In your sentence, the pitcher is the subject. Helped is the verb. The direct object is what he helped.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Bob threw the ball. Bob is subject, threw is verb, ball is direct object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh uwu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

team

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Bingo.

Okay, we'll use the surgeon's motto from med school. "See one, do one, teach one." You saw one, now you'll do one.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

What's the subject in this sentence, and what is the verb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@markchernioglo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subject:passed the salt and pepper

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

"passed the salt and pepper" did something? Doesn't sound like a subject to me. What about this "I" character mentioned up top?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

I is the subject. Passed is the verb (action). What did I pass?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to Louisa at the far end of the table.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

No, that's where I passed it. What did I pass?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

A football? The lasagna? A suitcase full of $20 bills?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Later, I passed the salt and pepper to Louisa at the far end of the table.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the indirect object in the sentence? Ms. Levine handed Lisa something from the closet. A. something B. Lisa C. Ms. Levine D. closet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

closet!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, why don't you start by stripping this sentence of everything that doesn't absolutely have to be there to make sense. Ms. Levine handed Lisa something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indirect object i!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Ms. Levine is the subject. Handed is the verb/action. Lisa is the direct object (she got something handed to her). The indirect object is what she was handed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so A

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

sorry, got that backwards. Lisa is the indirect object — it was handed to her. The direct object is something.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

From the closet just describes that something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOH SOO..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. something B. Lisa C. Ms. Levine D. closet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOT A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOT B AND C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO TAHT LIVES US WITH D

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

direct object: thing that gets acted on indirect object: person for whom it gets acted on Bob threw Steve the ball. Bob is subject, threw is verb, the ball is direct object, Steve is indirect object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is the indirect object? For example, you could make me pancakes for breakfast. A. pancakes B. you C. me D. breakfast

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

You should be able to figure it out from the example I just gave you. I have to go now.

OK THANKS

Somebody did something for the pancakes? I don't think so...
