9 Now you try: identify the direct objects in these sentences Bill had a cow. Bill had a cow. Sally wore a dress. Sally wore a dress. Timothy built a tree-house. Timothy built a tree-house. Derek bought a new backpack. Derek bought a new backpack. Allison made a delicious dinner Allison made a delicious dinner

10 Let’s see how you did!! Bill had a cow. Bill had a cow. Sally wore a dress. Sally wore a dress. Timothy built a tree-house. Timothy built a tree-house. Derek bought a new backpack. Derek bought a new backpack. Allison made a delicious dinner Allison made a delicious dinner

15 Dun Dun Dunnnnn I mailed my brother a letter I mailed my brother a letter I gave the students their papers I gave the students their papers I gave Martha the tickets. I gave Martha the tickets.

16 Why was that tricky? You can change the order of the indirect object and direct object- one does not have to come before the other. YOU have to decide what is the object of the sentence, and then who is receiving that object.
