second object?
Hi,
Please tell me if the underlined part in the second sentence shows that the sentence has two objects, not a direct object or indirect object like the first sentence.
1. I gave him the money. -- I think here, the direct object is 'the money' and the indirect object is 'him'.
2. We asked him to leave quietly. -- Do you think 'him' and 'to leave quitely' are two objects but not a direct and indirect object? The infinitive 'to leave quitely' and the pronoun 'him' are acting as objects, right?
