10. The club gave the town a new statue.
Indirect object: the town
Explanation:
The indirect object is the object/person that benefits from the action that the verb expresses. They are only on transitive verbs, that is to say, verbs that need an object to affect (a direct object).
To identify the indirect object:
- First, we have to identify the verb.
- Ask the verb who?. For example, in the sentence, the club gave the town a new statue, the verb is give so, we ask who gave the town a new statue? The club. The club is the subject of the sentence.
- Then we ask what. Following the previous example, we ask the subject what, what did the club gave the town? The answer is a new statue. The direct object is a new statue. Notice that the verb give is a transitive one because it cannot stay on its own. It needs an object.
- Lastly, ask to whom. To whom did the club give a new statue? The answer is to the town. The indirect object is the town, which is the one that benefited from the verb. Also, we can identify the indirect object by reformulating the sentence so that the indirect object comes after the direct one. In those cases, the indirect object will always be preceded by to. For example, The club gave a new statue to the town.
I wake up at 6 o’clock. I get up at 6.50. I make a cup of tea and iron my clothes. I have a shower and get dressed. I usually wear jeans, a blouse, a jumper or cardigan and boots in the winter, or a skirt and blouse in the summer. I brush my hair, put on my make-up. I pack my bag with all my teaching materials. I then put on my coat and leave the house. I walk to the bus stop. I catch the bus at 8.15, and then I pay my fare and sit down. It takes about 45 minutes to get to my destination three miles away. I get off the bus and walk to the school where I teach English. I have to sign in and get the key. Class starts at 9.25 and ends at 11.25.
I have lunch at 12. I eat a baguette or sandwich at the local café. I sometimes do some shopping before I walk back to school. I do some photocopying and go back to my classroom. I teach in the afternoon from 1 to 3pm. I then catch the bus back home and spend a couple of hours relaxing before I cook dinner.
My son goes to work shortly after I come home. Sometimes he cooks dinner before I get home, and sometimes I cook. I like to eat rice or pasta with a sauce. I chop the onions, fry them and then mix them with garlic, tomatoes, carrots, spinach and chilies. I boil the rice and then add the sauce. After dinner I wash up, sweep the floor, and tidy up a bit.
