"they" is definitely incorrect. Of the remaining two, which sounds better to you? Why?

Answer 6

Be honest. Have you checked the web site whose IRL I gave y ou?

Answer 7

I didn't, but I want to make sure the answers I pick are correct.

Answer 8

i looked up indirect object and direct object. Kind of got confused, because some said different things

Answer 9

But looking up that material for you was one way in which I wanted to help you.
First, the info is usually available on the 'Net if y ou'd take the time to look for it.
Secondly, I don't want to be in a position of telling you you are RIGHT or WRONG.

Which sounds better?
"My mom drove them to school."
"My mom drove to them to school."

Answer 30

Again I refer you to the article I located on the 'Net:

An indirect object is really a prepositional phrase in which the preposition to or for is not stated but understood. It tells to whom or for whom something is done. The indirect object always comes between the verb and the direct object. Example: She gave me a gift. The indirect object always modifies the verb. It may have modifiers and be compound. It is used with verbs such as give, tell, send, get, buy, show, build, do, make, save, and read. Example: She sent the man and me a gift.

There are several examples of indirect object here.
"the indirect object tells to whom for for whom something is done.
"She sent the man and me a gift."

Answer 31

Is man and me the indirect object of that sentence?

Answer 32

What happened to the other person who was helping you? I thought his / her advice was good.

Only one of them can be the direct object, and only one the indirect object. Here, "man" is indirect object because the gift goes to him. book is the direct object; it gets sent.

Answer 33

If the woman drove "them" to school by sitting on their backs, "them" would be direct object.

If the woman did something nice for "them" by driving them to school, that's indirect object.

Answer 34

Ok I think I'm starting to understand now, thank you.

Answer 35

My pleasure. Make use of the 'Net and search engines often. When in doubt, I do that.

Answer 36
