Question

After which of these verbs would you most likely find an indirect object?


were

is

give

am

Answer 1

You would most likely find an indirect object after the verb "give." An indirect object typically answers the question "to whom" or "for whom" the action of the verb is performed. For example, in the sentence "She gave him a book," "him" is the indirect object. The other verbs listed (were, is, am) do not take indirect objects.
