Complements
Every predicate contains a verb. Some predicates, however, need more than just a verb to complete the sentence.
Example:
A dragonfly has. (not a complete sentence, although it has a verb and subject)
A dragonfly has wings.
Additional words needed to complete the sentence are called “complements”Slide3
Direct objects
A direct object is always a noun or pronoun that answers the question “whom?” or “what?” after the verb
Beady eyes cover a dragonfly’s head. (Cover what?)
Dragonflies do not harm people. (Harm whom?)
A sentence may have a compound direct object.
Example: Dragonflies eat mosquitoes and other insects. (eat what?)Slide4

Indirect objects
Some transitive verbs have two kinds of objects:
The direct object receives the action, and the indirect object tells who or what was affected by the action.Slide6
Direct and indirect
I showed Vince (indirect) the fireflies (direct).
The fireflies gave us (indirect) a good show (direct).Slide7
Direct and indirect
Only sentences with direct objects can have indirect objects. To determine whether a sentence has an indirect object, first find the direct object. The indirect object always comes before the direct object.Slide8
Indirect objects
Answer the questions “to whom?” or “for whom?” or “to what?” or “for what?”
Nouns and pronouns with “to” and “for” can replace indirect objects. If a word follows to or for, however, it is not an indirect object.
Examples: I showed the fireflies to Vince. The fireflies gave a show for us.
Like direct objects, indirect objects can also be compound.
Example: The fireflies gave Vince (indirect) and me (indirect) a good show (direct).Slide9
