Unit 6: Direct and Indirect Objects

introduction

All sentences usually have a subject, a verb, and a predicate. And the predicate may also have an object, and it receives the action done by the subject. Now, there are two types of objects: The Direct Object and the Indirect Object. In an English sentence, the subject and verb usually come before the direct and indirect objects.

 

Note:

Study this special case.

Both "to" and "for" can be used with the verb "to write" but the meaning is different.

Gerardo wrote a letter to me. = He wrote me a letter. (I was the person who got/received the letter.)

Gerardo wrote a letter for me. (The letter was sent to Jane. I could not write the letter because my hand was broken.)
