This document discusses basic grammar rules in English, including the four types of sentences and the roles of direct and indirect objects. It explains that declarative sentences make statements, interrogative sentences ask questions, exclamatory sentences express strong emotion, and imperative sentences give commands. Direct objects provide more information about the verb. Indirect objects receive the direct object and work together with them. The document promises to cover punctuation rules in more depth in the next part.

INDIRECT OBJECTS
WORK WITH DIRECT
OBJECTS
THEN, THERE ARE INDIRECT OBJECTS. INDIRECT OBJECTS ARE RECEIVERS OF
THE DIRECT OBJECT. FOR EXAMPLE:

I made my dog homemade biscuits.
She baked her husband some chocolate chip cookies.
Once you've constructed a cohesive sentence with all the right elements, including
subjects, verbs, and information-providers, it's time to separate those words
with proper punctuation.
