Question

Rewrite the given sentence, placing the indirect object before the direct:
My grandmother tells me a bedtime story every night.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. My grandmother tells a bedtime story to me every night.
• C. Tells my grandmother a bedtime story me every night.
• D. Every night a bedtime story my grandmother tells to me.

Answer 1

Answer: (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 "a bedtime story" is the direct object. Hence the sentence requires no change and option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the direct object is placed before the indirect object.
Option C is incorrect because the sentence is incoherent, there is no prominent subject here.
Option D is incorrect because the direct object is placed before the indirect object. Also, the words here have been altered for emphasis.
