The subject is explained in simple terms and with sufficient examples.Though the topic is a new one, it is better driven into our heads. Thank you once again for veteran teaching skills. We may expect these types of new complex topics in future also.

Johnny helped start the campfire. In this sentence, can you tell me the direct and indirect objects?

[@thelearningdepot]

The campfire is the direct object. There is no indirect object.

[@mrmanurasilva]

Thank you! Can we consider 'start the campfire' as a direct object?

[@mrmanurasilva]

on your video, you said that 'start' was the direct object.

[@Aanit6736]

Which city is better, Mubai or kolkata. Mam please correct it.

[@thelearningdepot]

Which city is better, Mubai or Kolkata? You need to capitalize Kolkata and use a question mark instead of a period.

[@Aanit6736]

Sorry mam I have typed wrong question. Question was this. Which is better city -Mumbai or Kolkata? Mam it has adjective error please correct it....

[@thelearningdepot]

@@Aanit6736 Better is the correct comparative when you are comparing two things. You should add an article before better. Which is "the" better or "a" better.

[@Aanit6736]

Thank you mam

[@Aanit6736]

[@OxfordLearnersUnion]

I kept him waiting = causative or catentative, madam?

[@thelearningdepot]

It’s causative.

[@OxfordLearnersUnion]

@@thelearningdepot thank you so much ma'am

[@dan93431]

Hi,👩‍🏫👩‍🏫 could you check ✅ it out?? " My dad says if I'd spend as much time helping him clean appartments as I do daydreaming about outer space...." I guess "helping" is a participle adjective modifying "I". Maybe I am right.

[@thelearningdepot]

This is a tricky one because grammarians don't agree on this one. Helping is an extension of the verb "spend" so it is an -ing form. You will use an -ing form after the verbs spend and waste. Spend + Object + -ing form. Waste + Object + -ing form.
