Exercise 33.(You must write the complete sentence)
![Page 13: Are the following groups of words sentences? Birds fly. Toni bought. Our mechanic is. Richard feels.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649e565503460f94b4d939/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Just like in statements, questions word order is inverted. Therefore, the position of a direct
object in a sentence may change. In question, sometimes the direct object is near the
beginning of the sentence, before the verb.
![Page 14: Are the following groups of words sentences? Birds fly. Toni bought. Our mechanic is. Richard feels.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649e565503460f94b4d939/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Inverted Word Order for Questions
Normal Word Order: You did ask who for
help. He does want what
from us. He does want which car from the dealership.
Questions Whom did you ask for
help? What does he want
from us? Which car does he
want from the dealership?

HINT!*In essence, if you are having trouble finding the direct object in a question rephrase the sentence in normal word order, as shown in
the previous examples.

Indirect Objects
If there is a direct object within a sentence, there may also be another type of complement called an indirect object.
Definition: An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that comes after an action verb and before a direct object. It names the person or thing to which something is given or for which something is done.
An indirect object answer the question To whom or for whom? Or To what or for what? after an action verb. (You must find the direct object first, then ask the question.)
![Page 18: Are the following groups of words sentences? Birds fly. Toni bought. Our mechanic is. Richard feels.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649e565503460f94b4d939/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
For Example:
I told them the story.
Question you ask: Told to whom?
Answer: them.

Like a subject, verb, or direct object, and indirect object can be compound.

Do not confuse and indirect object and Objects of Prepositions.
Indirect Object NEVER follows to or for
in a sentence. Example: Father
bought him a car.
Objects of Prepositions Example: Father
bought a car for him.

Linking verbs have a different type of complement than action verbs (direct and indirect objects) which is called a subject complement.
