DIRECT AND INDIRECT OBJECTS

405. Sometimes Transitive Verbs take two Objects :-

        (1) the Direct Object, and           (2) the Indirect Object.

        If we say , ' Maria gave  a book ,'  the Noun book is called the Object of the Verb
        gave. But if we say, ' Maria gave me a book,' the word me is called the Indirect
        Object of the Verb gave. So the Object relating to a thing is called the Direct Object ;
        that relating to a person is called the Indirect Object .

        

            (*) Study the following examples :-

             1. She promised me a reward.
             2. He taught us French.
             3. Mother bought Sonia a toy-car.
