Understanding Direct and Indirect Objects

This video tutorial by Andrew from Crown Academy of English focuses on indirect objects in English grammar. It begins with a prerequisite understanding of direct objects, followed by an explanation of three types of sentences: those without a direct object, with a direct object, and with both direct and indirect objects. The video provides detailed examples and explanations of how to identify both direct and indirect objects, emphasizing the importance of word order. It also introduces an alternative sentence structure using prepositional phrases. The tutorial concludes with a recommendation for an English grammar ebook and additional resources.
