They show the slave the water We entrust the money to the friends. I shall announce the queen to the farmers. •Why are these words highlighted? •Can you reword the first two sentences? •How do you think Latin will deal with this? •With verbs of giving, showing, telling, entrusting there will almost always be an indirect object. •Very often, there will be both an indirect object and a direct object. •The direct object is the thing effected, or the primary goal or object of the action of the verb. •The indirect object is the secondary or indirect effect of the action of the verb. It almost always in this circumstance denotes personal interest. Of course, Latin uses endings to denote the indirect object. These endings are the endings of the DATIVE CASE. 1st f CASE USE 2nd m Singular Nom.
