Verbs with direct and indirect objects
|
|
Hello! I �m looking for a clear list of which verbs can take direct and indirect objects. For example, "explain" can have a direct but not an indirect object. He explained the problem to me but not He explained me the problem. Yet "give" can have an indirect object pronoun or a "to" phrase: He gave me the flowers or He gave the flowers to me. Does anyone know where I could find this kind of reference list? It �s for someone preparing for SATs so i �d like it to be pretty comprehensive. Thank you in advance. |
