thanks
YW !! =)
can you help me with 3 and 8 because I don't understand
Oh, sorry ... my mistake.
Your original answer for 8 is correct. Rita is the indirect obj. However, your answer for 7 is incorrect.
Be sure to read through the explanation of indirect object in that link I posted. Then let me know what you think about 3 and 7.
Here's one way to tell if there's an indirect object in a sentence:
Mr. Garcia has told Rita everything about his trip.
Mr. Garcia = subject
has told = verb
Rita = indirect object
everything = direct object
about his trip = prepositional phrase.
BUT ...
Mr. Garcia has told everything about his trip to Rita.
Mr. Garcia = subject
has told = verb
everything = direct object
about his trip = prepositional phrase
to Rita = prepositional phrase
Do you see the difference? It's very subtle!!
