English Double object verbs
Hello English learners! 😃
In today's lesson, we're going to study English verbs that can have two objects.
The Double Object Construction
In English, some verbs have 2 objects:
- an indirect object
- and a direct object.
| Subject | Verb | Indirect object | Direct object |
|---|---|---|---|
| She | brought | her father | some fruits. |
| My husband | sent | her | a letter |
| She | cooked | all her friends | a delicious cake. |
These clauses have the following structure:
VERB + NOUN (indirect object) + NOUN (direct object)
