Which word in the sentence is the indirect object? 

After the show, the performers made themselves a delicious dinner.
  A.themselves  B.dinner  C.performers  D.show


Sagot :

The answer it's variant A.themselves because it's an indirect object in dative case
When you clear away all the ornaments, decorations, and cobwebs,
the sentence says  "Performers made dinner."

Subject = performers
Predicate = made
Direct Object = dinner.

An indirect object in a sentence is quite rare.  If there is one, then it's
who or what gets the direct object.  In this sentence, "themselves"
get the dinner, so "themselves" is the indirect object.
