00:00:00.420 --> 00:00:02.580
in today's lesson I'm going to show you

2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:04.799
how to find the direct and indirect

3
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.319
object in a sentence

4
00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:10.980
we're going to start with level A2 with

5
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.900
examples like

6
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.619
I sent my Mom a Mother's Day card

7
00:00:16.619 --> 00:00:21.600
all the way up to C1 with examples like

8
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.600
swimming laps

9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.480
in the pool gives her a sense of

10
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.300
accomplishment that she hasn't found in

11
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.479
any other form of exercise

12
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:36.600
at the end of each section I have a mini

13
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.000
test for you so you can practice what

14
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.000
you learned my name is Arnell let's

15
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.239
start

16
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.860
I have my subject

17
00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:49.079
verb Plus

18
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:50.640
hmm

19
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.760
the subject does the action

20
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.879
the verb is the action

21
00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:58.620
and you can see I'm using different

22
00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:01.680
tenses present continuous

23
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:05.100
past simple present perfect and future

24
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:06.240
simple

25
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:08.520
you do not need to be an expert on the

26
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:10.920
tenses for this lesson I just want to

27
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.560
give you examples with a variety of

28
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.040
tenses

29
00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:20.459
but I'm missing something

30
00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:22.259
I made

31
00:01:22.259 --> 00:01:25.438
what what did you make I'm missing a

32
00:01:25.438 --> 00:01:27.180
direct object

33
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:31.040
I made a sandwich

34
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.700
what what are you reading we are reading

35
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.799
a book

36
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.740
what did Jim build

37
00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:43.799
he built a shelf

38
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.619
what has Heather bought

39
00:01:46.619 --> 00:01:48.240
she has bought

40
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:51.200
curtains

41
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.700
for this last one here

42
00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:55.200
hmm

43
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.060
Amy will meet

44
00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:01.259
person can I use what for a person what

45
00:02:01.259 --> 00:02:03.659
will Amy me

46
00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:06.119
I'm speaking about a person

47
00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:10.220
I'm speaking about an object I need whom

48
00:02:10.220 --> 00:02:13.860
whom will Amy me

49
00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:17.959
Amy will meet Toby

50
00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:23.160
I want to give you a mini explanation on

51
00:02:23.160 --> 00:02:25.139
whom because it's important for this

52
00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:27.139
lesson

53
00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:30.780
who asks about a subject

54
00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.480
who will meet Toby

55
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:37.200
Amy Amy will meet Toby

56
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.319
whom asks about the object

57
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:42.959
whom will Amy meet

58
00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:44.819
Amy will meet

59
00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:47.420
Toby

60
00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:53.220
but the word whom is slowly disappearing

61
00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:55.379
from the English language

62
00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:58.379
so you might hear native speakers using

63
00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:01.680
who instead of whom

64
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.099
but for this lesson I'm just gonna use

65
00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:07.440
whom because it's probably what you'll

66
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:09.540
see in your grammar books and in your

67
00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:12.659
English lessons

68
00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:16.200
direct objects answer the question what

69
00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:19.500
or whom the verb affects

70
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:23.040
effect means has an impact

71
00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:25.440
and they're called direct objects

72
00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:29.760
because they directly receive the verb

73
00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:32.940
we can of course use a pronoun a pronoun

74
00:03:32.940 --> 00:03:35.519
can also be your direct object

75
00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.980
I made it

76
00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:40.799
we can make the subject and the direct

77
00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:43.560
object more interesting

78
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.920
Rick and his children are reading comic

79
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.480
books

80
00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:51.239
so it doesn't really matter how you

81
00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:53.299
change the subject or the direct object

82
00:03:53.299 --> 00:03:58.680
it's still the direct object of the verb

83
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.720
if you want you can pause this lesson

84
00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:03.360
and think of your own direct object for

85
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.739
each

86
00:04:04.739 --> 00:04:07.819
of these examples

87
00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:13.620
okay when we say I made a sandwich it's

88
00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:14.459
clear

89
00:04:14.459 --> 00:04:16.199
I made the sandwich

90
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:21.000
I am hungry and I ate the sandwich

91
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.540
but what happens if the sandwich is not

92
00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:27.139
for me

93
00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:32.339
I made my grandpa a sandwich

94
00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:36.779
we are reading the children a book

95
00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:40.620
Jim built his wife a shelf Heather

96
00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.699
bought Cynthia curtains

97
00:04:44.940 --> 00:04:47.040
this last example is a little bit

98
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:48.479
different so I'm going to come back to

99
00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:50.520
that one later

100
00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:52.380
my grandpa

101
00:04:52.380 --> 00:04:54.240
the children

102
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:55.680
his wife

103
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:01.380
Cynthia these are indirect objects

104
00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:04.380
direct objects receive the verb

105
00:05:04.380 --> 00:05:06.960
indirect objects receive the direct

106
00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:08.940
object

107
00:05:08.940 --> 00:05:12.180
what really we have the indirect object

108
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:15.660
before the direct object even though the

109
00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:17.960
direct object receives a verb

110
00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:20.759
yeah the structure might seem a little

111
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.759
bit strange but this is very natural and

112
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.039
correct

113
00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:28.919
it's important to remember you cannot

114
00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:31.620
have an indirect object without a direct

115
00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:32.940
object

116
00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:35.639
if there is no direct object there is no

117
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.380
indirect object

118
00:05:37.380 --> 00:05:40.020
remember no do

119
00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:41.220
no

120
00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:43.500
IO

121
00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.020
if you feel confused about direct and

122
00:05:46.020 --> 00:05:50.720
indirect objects you can do a mini test

123
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.479
if you remove the indirect object the

124
00:05:54.479 --> 00:05:57.360
sentence still makes sense

125
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.600
let's look at a couple of examples

126
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.960
Jim built his wife a shelf we can remove

127
00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:06.539
the indirect object and it makes perfect

128
00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:10.139
sense Jim built a shelf

129
00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:13.199
if we remove the direct object

130
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.479
Jim built his wife

131
00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:19.259
really did he really build his wife

132
00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:21.660
that's possible but that's obviously not

133
00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:24.259
what we're talking about

134
00:06:24.259 --> 00:06:27.539
we are reading the children a book we

135
00:06:27.539 --> 00:06:29.940
can remove that indirect object and it

136
00:06:29.940 --> 00:06:33.360
makes sense we are reading a book

137
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.940
if we remove the direct object

138
00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:39.180
we are reading the children are the

139
00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:41.039
children a story are you reading the

140
00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:41.880
children

141
00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:45.360
no that's not what we mean

142
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.580
let's go back to this example sentence

143
00:06:47.580 --> 00:06:51.660
from earlier Amy will meet Toby why why

144
00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:54.839
didn't I add an indirect object here

145
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.560
not all verbs take an indirect object

146
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.180
we meet

147
00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:03.300
someone an indirect object is not a

148
00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:06.000
possibility but to help you out I want

149
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.460
to give you a list of super common verbs

150
00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:12.300
that often not always often take two

151
00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:15.300
objects

152
00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:18.539
I have my verbs I'm gonna choose the

153
00:07:18.539 --> 00:07:21.479
indirect object me and I'll give you one

154
00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:23.120
example

155
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.460
can you pass me the salt

156
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.199
if you want pause the video and think of

157
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.180
your own example sentences

158
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:41.580
okay first mini test

159
00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:44.160
I have my sentences here can you please

160
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.840
find the verb

161
00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:48.240
the direct object and the indirect

162
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.060
object pause the video to do this

163
00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:57.419
okay

164
00:07:57.419 --> 00:08:00.840
here are the answers I've highlighted

165
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:03.240
the part for you let me know in the

166
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:04.860
comments how you did I always love

167
00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:06.960
hearing from you and you can also give

168
00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:09.539
me a few of your example sentences

169
00:08:09.539 --> 00:08:13.380
let's move on to B1

170
00:08:13.380 --> 00:08:14.639
okay

171
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.919
here are the sentences we looked at in

172
00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:18.840
the A2 level

173
00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:21.419
you can see the indirect object comes

174
00:08:21.419 --> 00:08:23.520
before the direct object

175
00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:26.599
but the indirect object can also go

176
00:08:26.599 --> 00:08:31.160
after the direct object

177
00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:37.020
and you can see at number seven I put a

178
00:08:37.020 --> 00:08:38.760
little asterisk

179
00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:41.159
ignore number seven for now we'll come

180
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.300
back to that one later

181
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:47.399
for these sentences here I'm missing

182
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:48.360
something

183
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.640
if you move your indirect object to the

184
00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:52.920
end of the sentence you need

185
00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:54.600
a preposition

186
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.179
everyone's favorite thing

187
00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:59.940
for each space can you choose the

188
00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:03.480
preposition two or four pause the video

189
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.080
to do this

190
00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:10.500
here

191
00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:12.540
are the answers

192
00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:14.820
how did you do

193
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:17.220
you might be thinking is there a rule

194
00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:19.200
for this when to choose four when to

195
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.399
choose two

196
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.640
no there isn't a rule

197
00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:26.700
as you know it prepositions there can be

198
00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:30.720
guidelines but there really isn't a rule

199
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.000
in this case so when you're learning

200
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.679
prepositions it's good to learn them

201
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.800
with the verb together

202
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:40.740
for number seven why why didn't I move

203
00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:42.958
that indirect object

204
00:09:42.958 --> 00:09:46.620
because the verb ask the verb ask is

205
00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:49.080
always followed by its indirect object

206
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.059
if there is one

207
00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:55.920
I asked her a question you can ask me

208
00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:59.040
anything so it would not be correct to

209
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:02.519
say a policeman was asking questions to

210
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.700
me

211
00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:10.500
the indirect object is normally a person

212
00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:14.179
but it doesn't have to be a person

213
00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:19.019
the mechanic gave the car new tires the

214
00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:21.720
car is my indirect object and it's

215
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.560
a thing

216
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.140
in this lesson I've used transitive

217
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:30.899
verbs for all of my examples you can see

218
00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:32.519
them there

219
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:34.620
transitive verbs what are transitive

220
00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:38.880
verbs transitive verbs need an object

221
00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:42.059
I cannot say I make

222
00:10:42.059 --> 00:10:45.000
what what do you make

223
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.220
silly me I make pancakes every Sunday

224
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:54.200
what's the opposite of a transitive verb

225
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.760
intransitive verbs

226
00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:59.220
intransitive verbs like the ones you see

227
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.880
here do not need an object you can make

228
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.760
a complete sentence just by using a

229
00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:08.760
subject and an intransitive verb I

230
00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:11.339
laughed she cried

231
00:11:11.339 --> 00:11:14.458
he slept yes some verbs can be

232
00:11:14.458 --> 00:11:16.740
transitive and intransitive like the

233
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.958
verb read

234
00:11:18.958 --> 00:11:21.120
how do you know if a verb is transitive

235
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.679
or intransitive

236
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.940
one

237
00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:26.399
as you improve your English you'll get a

238
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.140
natural feeling for when you need an

239
00:11:28.140 --> 00:11:31.800
object or not two a good dictionary will

240
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:34.220
tell you

241
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.200
look I just chose Cambridge Dictionary

242
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.700
there is a t here this means transitive

243
00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:47.399
borrow needs an object

244
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.220
if we look at the verb laugh

245
00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:52.500
we can see an i because it's

246
00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:54.420
intransitive

247
00:11:54.420 --> 00:11:58.200
and if I choose e you can see it can be

248
00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:58.980
both

249
00:11:58.980 --> 00:12:03.600
transitive and intransitive

250
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.940
so why am I spending so much time

251
00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:07.800
telling you about transitive and

252
00:12:07.800 --> 00:12:09.660
intransitive verbs

253
00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:12.600
because I don't want you to be confused

254
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.660
if you see a sentence like this

255
00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:18.480
I worked all day with my brother and

256
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.519
then ran for a couple of miles in the

257
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.420
park

258
00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:24.360
this is kind of a long sentence but

259
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.899
because work and run are intransitive

260
00:12:27.899 --> 00:12:30.600
there are no direct or indirect objects

261
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.578
in the sentence

262
00:12:32.578 --> 00:12:36.059
so if you're trying to identify objects

263
00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:40.639
maybe they're not there

264
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.160
okay I am back let's do test number two

265
00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:54.240
I have seven examples here

266
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.179
three sentences have a direct object and

267
00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.740
an indirect object

268
00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:01.920
three sentences have a direct object and

269
00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:03.779
just a direct object

270
00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:06.380
and one sentence doesn't have any

271
00:13:06.380 --> 00:13:09.600
objects can you match the sentences to

272
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:14.240
the categories pause the video

273
00:13:16.800 --> 00:13:17.880
here

274
00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:20.040
are the answers

275
00:13:20.040 --> 00:13:22.139
how did you do let me know in the

276
00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:25.559
comments let's keep going

277
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.500
now you know only transitive verbs have

278
00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:32.160
a direct object which means we can only

279
00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:34.440
use transitive verbs in the passive

280
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.760
voice

281
00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:38.399
let's try to identify direct and

282
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.240
indirect objects in the passive voice

283
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.139
mini reminder we form the passive voice

284
00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:49.500
B plus past participle that's a verb

285
00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:52.078
number three in this lesson I'm not

286
00:13:52.078 --> 00:13:54.179
going to go into the details of the

287
00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:56.279
passive voice but if you want more

288
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.620
information on that topic I have a video

289
00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:00.899
on my YouTube channel and I'll leave the

290
00:14:00.899 --> 00:14:03.300
link down below for you

291
00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:07.679
let's start with an active sentence

292
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.679
two thieves stole a diamond from a

293
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.120
museum

294
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:14.160
what what was stolen

295
00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:16.139
a diamond so I know that's my direct

296
00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:18.059
object

297
00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:19.260
hmm

298
00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:21.660
I think that's more important I want to

299
00:14:21.660 --> 00:14:24.839
make that my subject

300
00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:29.898
a diamond was stolen from a museum

301
00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:32.639
you can see my direct object has become

302
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.820
my subject but it is still the direct

303
00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:40.160
object of the verb Steel

304
00:14:40.800 --> 00:14:42.959
and what happened to the two thieves did

305
00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:44.880
we forget about them

306
00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:49.260
I could add buy buy the two thieves that

307
00:14:49.260 --> 00:14:53.040
becomes the agent but in the passive

308
00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:55.380
voice many times that isn't even

309
00:14:55.380 --> 00:14:58.500
necessary let's do another example again

310
00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:02.240
starting with the active voice

311
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.120
Wendy gave me a recipe for

312
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.959
oatmeal raisin cookies

313
00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:12.560
recipe

314
00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:16.160
not recipe

315
00:15:16.380 --> 00:15:18.720
okay again I want to make the direct

316
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.000
object my subject because I think that's

317
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.300
more important a recipe for oatmeal

318
00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:27.779
raisin cookies was given to me

319
00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:30.360
what if I want to make the indirect

320
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.100
object the subject of my sentence

321
00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:35.399
because I think that's more important I

322
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.699
I was given a recipe for oatmeal raisin

323
00:15:38.699 --> 00:15:39.839
cookies

324
00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:43.260
by Wendy is optional

325
00:15:43.260 --> 00:15:45.899
so with a passive voice finding the

326
00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:48.000
direct and indirect object is a little

327
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.339
bit different but whatever you want to

328
00:15:50.339 --> 00:15:54.440
emphasize becomes the subject

329
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.540
in this first example can you make the

330
00:15:57.540 --> 00:16:00.120
direct object the subject in the passive

331
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:01.019
voice

332
00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:02.820
in the second sentence can you please

333
00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:05.519
make the indirect object the subject

334
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:09.560
pause the video to do this

335
00:16:10.880 --> 00:16:12.600
here

336
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.180
are your answers you can see there's a

337
00:16:15.180 --> 00:16:18.920
little bit of a variety possible

338
00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:24.260
let's take a look at a little clip

339
00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:30.380
I

340
00:16:30.550 --> 00:16:32.220
[Music]

341
00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:34.440
the sentence I'm interested in is a

342
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:36.959
second sentence probably one of the most

343
00:16:36.959 --> 00:16:40.800
famous lines in movie history

344
00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:43.380
I your father

345
00:16:43.380 --> 00:16:46.759
they're the same thing right

346
00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:50.000
you are a student

347
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.660
you a student they're the same thing

348
00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:57.300
she became a doctor

349
00:16:57.300 --> 00:17:03.120
she a doctor they're the same person

350
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.760
what do we call verbs that connect two

351
00:17:05.760 --> 00:17:08.540
things that are the same we call them

352
00:17:08.540 --> 00:17:11.359
linking verbs

353
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.040
a link is something that connects two

354
00:17:14.040 --> 00:17:18.359
things a chain has many

355
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.220
links

356
00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:22.919
why am I telling you about linking verbs

357
00:17:22.919 --> 00:17:25.859
because just like intransitive verbs

358
00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:29.520
linking verbs do not take objects

359
00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:32.419
here is a list of common linking verbs

360
00:17:32.419 --> 00:17:35.880
remember B has many forms

361
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.840
I also have sense verbs you know this we

362
00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:42.600
could hear sound with our ears look with

363
00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:46.380
our eyes taste with our mouths feel with

364
00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:48.600
our skin and emotions

365
00:17:48.600 --> 00:17:51.000
and smell with our noses

366
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.679
and there are other verbs here

367
00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:57.780
linking verbs are followed by nouns or

368
00:17:57.780 --> 00:17:59.039
adjectives

369
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:01.980
she became my best friend my best friend

370
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:03.480
is a noun

371
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.240
you look beautiful beautiful is an

372
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.619
adjective

373
00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:11.220
he went crazy when he heard the news

374
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:13.740
here first we have our linking verb with

375
00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:16.320
its adjective crazy describing the

376
00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:17.460
subject

377
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.100
and later in the sentence we have a verb

378
00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:23.880
and it's direct object so yes there can

379
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.160
be many types of verbs in a sentence

380
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.720
my best friend

381
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.559
beautiful crazy these are what we call

382
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.919
subject compliments

383
00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:37.320
these are not direct objects even though

384
00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:39.539
they follow a verb directly

385
00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:41.340
and once again a good dictionary will

386
00:18:41.340 --> 00:18:43.919
tell you what the verb type is

387
00:18:43.919 --> 00:18:46.320
I'm going to choose Longman

388
00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:49.200
remain you can see is intransitive and

389
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.179
linking

390
00:18:51.179 --> 00:18:54.419
B2 test I think your start to get an

391
00:18:54.419 --> 00:18:56.760
idea of what I want you to do in these

392
00:18:56.760 --> 00:18:59.340
little tests can you match each sentence

393
00:18:59.340 --> 00:19:03.059
to its category and for the passive

394
00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:05.580
voice don't try to find the object in

395
00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:07.799
the passive voice I just want you to

396
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.859
identify the passive voice pause the

397
00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:13.759
video to do this

398
00:19:17.299 --> 00:19:21.660
here are the answers how did you do and

399
00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:24.359
more importantly how are you feeling I

400
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:25.619
know there's been a lot of information

401
00:19:25.619 --> 00:19:27.960
we just have one more section to go

402
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.440
let's move on to see

403
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.000
one

404
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.780
uh I am sure you are sick of direct and

405
00:19:36.780 --> 00:19:40.440
indirect objects by now let's keep going

406
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.200
and you can see we've kind of come full

407
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.900
circle you might recognize this layout

408
00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:48.539
from earlier in the lesson

409
00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:52.919
I'm missing my direct objects what what

410
00:19:52.919 --> 00:19:55.980
did you finish I finished my essay your

411
00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:58.919
direct object can be a noun

412
00:19:58.919 --> 00:20:01.859
what have you always liked

413
00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:05.220
I have always liked swimming in the lake

414
00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:06.960
near my house

415
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.799
your direct object can be a gerund

416
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.140
what what do you need

417
00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:15.720
I need to go home before my parents

418
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.460
start to worry about me

419
00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:22.020
your infinitive can also be an object

420
00:20:22.020 --> 00:20:24.960
what what can I buy

421
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.840
you can buy whatever dress you like for

422
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:30.780
the party your direct object can also be

423
00:20:30.780 --> 00:20:34.559
a clause in this case a noun clause

424
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.600
in the last example I'm looking for the

425
00:20:36.600 --> 00:20:38.520
indirect object

426
00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:40.919
who does your boss tell his life story

427
00:20:40.919 --> 00:20:42.359
to

428
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.960
my boss tells whomever will listen his

429
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:47.820
life story

430
00:20:47.820 --> 00:20:50.280
so it doesn't matter how complex a

431
00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:52.440
sentence looks with a bit of detective

432
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:54.000
work you can find the direct and

433
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:54.900
indirect

434
00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:56.700
objects

435
00:20:56.700 --> 00:21:00.240
last test for our ce1 test let's use

436
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.559
real life clips clip number one take a

437
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.400
look

438
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.679
once he gives his hamstrings a break

439
00:21:07.679 --> 00:21:09.780
they'll retract back to their previous

440
00:21:09.780 --> 00:21:11.039
state

441
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.619
what's the verb what's the direct object

442
00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:17.298
and what's the indirect object

443
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.059
here

444
00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:23.900
are the answers

445
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.960
let's move on to clip number two

446
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.119
take for example this tip from the MIT

447
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.159
admissions blog where the author

448
00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:34.020
Compares two different introductions for

449
00:21:34.020 --> 00:21:36.860
a potential essay

450
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.320
can you find two verbs and two direct

451
00:21:43.320 --> 00:21:47.299
objects pause the video

452
00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:53.119
here are the answers

453
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.179
clip number three what can you see I'm

454
00:21:57.179 --> 00:22:00.620
the father it's my job

455
00:22:04.020 --> 00:22:07.260
in clip number three we're using linking

456
00:22:07.260 --> 00:22:10.320
verbs so there are no objects you can

457
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:13.940
just see subject complements

458
00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:17.280
for clip number four what can you find

459
00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:19.440
I've always secretly wanted to be a

460
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.559
machine

461
00:22:23.280 --> 00:22:25.559
we have our verb always wanted in the

462
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.799
present perfect our direct object is an

463
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:30.780
infinitive

464
00:22:30.780 --> 00:22:34.799
last clip clip number five take a look

465
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.580
Wanna Dance

466
00:22:38.840 --> 00:22:41.940
I do believe Marcellus my husband your

467
00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:44.039
boss told you to take me out and do

468
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.859
whatever I wanted now I want to dance I

469
00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:50.100
want to win I want that trophy so that's

470
00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:52.320
good all right okay

471
00:22:52.320 --> 00:22:54.480
in my opinion this one is the most

472
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:57.480
complex so to give you the answer I'm

473
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.179
actually gonna read my notes to do that

474
00:23:00.179 --> 00:23:03.600
so I'm gonna use picture Arnel to take

475
00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:06.600
my place to help me as I read you the

476
00:23:06.600 --> 00:23:07.980
answers

477
00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:10.260
first things first at the very end

478
00:23:10.260 --> 00:23:13.260
technically good should be well but

479
00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:15.359
that's a different grammar point

480
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.600
do hears acting as an auxiliary verb we

481
00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:19.980
don't need to look at it

482
00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:23.340
believe is our transitive verb what does

483
00:23:23.340 --> 00:23:24.240
she believe

484
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.179
this whole part is the direct object

485
00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:31.640
this whole situation is a direct object

486
00:23:32.340 --> 00:23:34.679
within this part there are other verbs

487
00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:36.119
and objects

488
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.500
okay U is the indirect object of told

489
00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:43.080
to take me out is the direct object of

490
00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:44.520
told

491
00:23:44.520 --> 00:23:47.460
me is a direct object of take

492
00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:50.340
whatever I wanted is a direct object of

493
00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:51.659
do

494
00:23:51.659 --> 00:23:53.760
want want

495
00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:55.200
to dance

496
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.799
to win that trophy are direct objects

497
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.280
I'm back again I hope this lesson helped

498
00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:07.260
you get a better feeling for direct and

499
00:24:07.260 --> 00:24:09.600
indirect objects don't forget to leave

500
00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:11.220
me a couple of your test scores down

501
00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:13.799
below and give me a few example

502
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:18.200
sentences I'll see you next time
