Still stuck on this one-
What kind of complement is the word in CAPS?
Have you met DR.CARLOS WHITMAN Sally?
Ans- indirect object
this one seems kinda tricky to me; am i wrong?
Thanks

Dr. Williams is the person met and therefore the direct object.

Remember, indirect objects answer TO or FOR WHOM or WHAT after the verb.
Direct objects answer WHAT or WHOM after the verb.
OK! =]

No, you're not wrong! This question can be a little tricky, but you got it right. The word in caps, "DR.CARLOS WHITMAN," is an indirect object complement in this sentence.
To determine the type of complement, we need to first identify the verb and then analyze the sentence structure. The verb in this sentence is "met." The direct object is the noun "Sally."
Now, let's break down the sentence structure:
- Subject: "you"
- Verb: "met"
- Direct object: "Sally"
- Indirect object complement: "DR.CARLOS WHITMAN"
An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that answers the question "to whom?" or "for whom?" after an action verb. In this sentence, the indirect object complement "DR.CARLOS WHITMAN" is answering the question "to whom?" or "for whom?" about meeting Sally.
So, you are correct in identifying it as an indirect object complement. Well done!
