Question

Change the given sentence, placing the indirect object before the direct:
He lent me his Bentley.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. He lent his Bentley to me.
• C. Bentley lent me his.
• D. His Bentley he lent to me.

Answer 1

The correct option is A NO CHANGE

Some verbs take two objects, a direct object and an indirect object. The indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise affected participant in the event. The direct object answers the question 'what?' and the indirect object answers the question 'for whom?'.
In the given sentence, "me" is the indirect object and "his Bentley" is the direct object. Hence the sentence requires no change and option A is correct. (When the indirect object is placed after the direct object, it is preceded by the preposition 'to')
Option B is incorrect because the indirect object here is placed after the direct.
Option C is incorrect because the sentence has no subject.
Option D is incorrect because the direct object i still placed before the direct, where the former comes before the subject.
