sentence pattern?
The toddler tossed his father the ball.
O A. Subject + action verb + indirect object + direct object
OB. Subject + action verb + direct object
OC. Subject + verb + object + object complement
D. Pronoun + subiect + interrogative verb

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is subject+verb +object+ object complement

Answer 2

Answer: the answer is OA

Explanation: so you have to break the sentence apart. the toddler is the subject, which eliminates choice d. "tossed" is an action verb which eliminates OC. then you ask yourself what is he tossing? the thing being tossed is the dirst object which is the ball? then to find out if there is an indirect object you ask who or what is the ball getting tossed to? therefore his father is your io and its choice OA.
