Answer:

Direct object = DO & Indirect object = IO

i) A bicycle: DO; Me: IO

ii) A story: DO; Us: IO

iii) A thief: DO (No other object)

iv) Him: DO; A month: IO

Answer 2

Answer:

i) Direct Object- a bicycle   ;   Indirect Object- me

ii) Direct Object- a story      ;    Indirect Object- us

iii) Direct Object- the ball     ;   Indirect Object- absent

iv) Direct Object- a thief       ;   Indirect Object- absent

v) Direct Object- him          ;    Indirect Object- absent

Explanation:

Tip : When we have to identify direct object, First take the verb and try asking the question starting with 'Who?' or 'What?'. The answer you will get is the direct object.

For indirect object try asking 'To Whom?' or 'For Whom?' . The answer you will get is the Indirect object.
