Then, to find the indirect object, ask: Who or what is receiving the direct object? In this case, who or what is receiving the food? The answer, “them”, is the sentence’s indirect object. To find the direct object, we can ask: Who or what is being ed? In this case, who or what is being given? “Food” is being given, so it’s the direct object.
To find the sentence’s subject, we need to ask: Who or what gave? (Who is “doing” the giving?) The answer is “their parents”, which is the noun phrases that is this sentence’s subject. In the sentence “Their parents gave them food,” the verb is “gave”. The subject “does” the verb (or does the “being” in linking verbs’ case).
Every subject, direct object, and indirect object is a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase.
