Thank you, so much!!!
You're welcome.
Yes, your answers are correct. Here's how to identify the usage of the underlined word in each sentence:
1. The underlined word "message" is the direct object in this sentence. The direct object is the noun or noun phrase that receives the action of the verb directly.
2. The underlined word "them" is the indirect object in this sentence. The indirect object is a noun or noun phrase that indicates to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done.
3. The underlined word "him" is the indirect object in this sentence. Similar to the previous sentence, the indirect object indicates to whom or for whom the action of the verb is done.
Well done on your correct identification!
