CHOOSE THE SENTENCE THAT CONTAINS AN INDIRECT OBJECT.
1. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAVE MONEY.
2. I WORKED HARD EACH DAY.
3. THEY GAVE ME A BOUNS.
4. I SPENT IT IMMEDIATLEY.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Sorry, but the "it" in #4 is the direct object. The indirect object here is in #3. If I reword it "They gave a bonus (direct object) TO ME (it is identified as the indirect object.)
The sentence that contains an indirect object is: "They gave me a bonus."
To identify the indirect object in a sentence, you need to locate the verb and the direct object first. In this case, the verb is "gave" and the direct object is "a bonus."
To find the indirect object, ask yourself who or what received the direct object. In this sentence, "me" is the recipient of the direct object, "a bonus." Therefore, "me" is the indirect object.
So, sentence number 3, "They gave me a bonus," contains an indirect object.
