Choose the indirect object in this sentence. Mr. Jones gave Sherry an apple because she was hungry.

Sherry

Explanation: An indirect object is a noun phrase that's affected by the verb but isn't the primary object.

Let me put it this way, though: if whatever's after the verb doesn't make sense as a direct object (the object right after an action verb), it's an indirect object.

For example, in the sentence provided, "Sherry" can't be a direct object because Mr. Jones can't give Sherry. He's giving an apple, not Sherry; therefore, "Sherry" is the indirect object.

If the sentence did have a direct object, though, one could rewrite the sentence to "Mr. Jones gave an apple to Sherry because she was hungry." Because "an apple" follows after the action verb gave, it's a direct object.

invention of the washing machine

in the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. as it was sweaty, backbreaking work, we owe a world of to james king because he created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. the most important issue was that this machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. doing this made people who used it develop strong muscles in their arms. later, in 1908, alva j. fisher created an electric washing machine named thor. this one was not the first automatic washing machine. however, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
