Explanation: In the sentence "My father gave me a new football",<u> "My father" is the subject</u> since it makes reference to <u>the doer of the action</u>. <u>The verb</u> that <u>represents the action carried out </u>by the subject<u> is "gave".</u> Moreover, as "gave" is a ditransitive verb, it takes two objects: a direct object and an indirect object. <u>The direct object is the thing that receives the action of the verb</u>. In that way, the noun phrase<u> "a new football" is the recipient of "gave"</u>. On the other hand, <u>the indirect object is the person affected by the action</u> denoted in the main verb. In the sentence provided,<u> "me" is affected by "gave". </u>
