0II'd be one to admit grammar is never my strong suit but I'm always eager to learn.02br
02br
00I've read thoroughly the thread titled "grammar exercise" regarding noun clause/subordinate clause used as adjective, adverb, indirect object and so forth. I really had to strain my brain to understand it all and I have tons of questions to ask under the same thread but felt that it was not my place to post my questions there.02br
02br
00I just have a few questions to start off:02br
02br
00Using the example I'm giving below, could somebody identify indirect object for me? and likewise, is there such a thing as "direct object" then?02br
02br
00"She gave the clerk 50 dollars."02br
02br
00Thank you02br

00What goes from one person to the other is the DIRECT object. The $50.02br

00The person who receives the direct object is the INDIRECT object. The clerk.02br

00Nothing spins my head faster than English Gramar. It seems the more I look into it, the more confused I am about the language. The names for every part or function of every part in a sentence can easily overwhelm me, and my brain would stop to function normal
