Identify the underlined word in the sentence. Write either D for direct object or I for indirect object.
Get that dog and those puppies out of here!
(puppies is underlined)
My Answer Is: Indirect Object
An indirect object answers the question "to or for whom or what?"
Examples of indirect objects:
Give HER a doggie treat.
I'll send YOU an email about your proposal.
Actually, in the sentence "Get that dog and those puppies out of here!", there is no underlined word. It seems there may have been a mistake in the question. However, if there were an underlined word, we could determine whether it is a direct object (D) or an indirect object (I) by looking at the sentence structure and the function of the word in the sentence. The direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
For example:
- Direct object: "I bought a book." (The direct object is "book" because it directly receives the action of the verb "bought.")
- Indirect object: "I gave him a present." (The indirect object is "him" because it indirectly receives the action of the verb "gave.")
If you can provide the correct sentence with the underlined word, I would be happy to help identify whether it is a direct object or an indirect object.
