Can you recommend me a good restaurant?





Mariethe House
France

This is really puzzling me !

Give me                       a present:
        indirect object         direct object
send him                      a letter

ask them                        a question

Definition of indirect object : the person or "thing" that "receives " the object

Give me a present : ME "receives " the object :"present"
send him a letter :  HIM receives the object :"letter"
ask them a question: THEM receives the object :"question"
recommend me a restaurant: ME Cannot "receive" a restaurant!! So it should be: Can you recommend a restaurant and a good one too because after all this thinking, I deserve one!Big smile
