Que. 4: B) Underline the indirect object in the following sentences

b) Arpita mailed her photographs to her sister.

​

Answer 1

a) She paid fifty rupees to the shopkeeper.

b) Arpita mailed her photographs to her sister.

To find an indirect object:

1) Find the verb. Is it an action verb?

2) If it is an action verb, put the verb in the blank and ask "____ who or what?" Now, you have found the direct object.

3) Now, ask "to whom or for whom"? If the sentence tells you the answer to this question, you have found an indirect object.

For Example:

• Mrs. Peterson assigned the class 10 math problems. (To whom were the math problems assigned?) the class.

Answer 2

Answer:

the shopkeeper is indirect
