The document summarizes a grammar class about verbs that take two objects. The teacher explained verbs like give, lend, promise, send and show can be used with two objects. Examples were provided like "I gave a prize to me" and "Send me a letter." It was explained the normal word order is person then thing. The indirect object receives the action indirectly and can come in different positions than the direct object. Later, examples of changing sentences to the passive voice were provided, such as "The students were given the books by Mary." Finally, using "by" in passives is optional and used to emphasize who performed the action.

Time Details
Step. 1
15:00-15:30
 The teacher Magdalena Ullauri provides a review about the last topic and
began to talk about the new one "VERBS WITH TWO OBJECTS"

Step. 2
15:30-16:30
 The teacher gives us someexamples with theseverbs.
For example:
 I gave a prize to me.
 Gave Susan a prize.
 Send me a letter.
 The teacher explains the following:
If there are two objects in a sentence, the normal word order is:
person → thing
Example:
 I must give my sister a book.
 I gave Mandy the letter.
 I gave her the letter.
If the thing is a pronoun, it is put behind the verb. For example:
 I must give it to her.
When verbs are followed by two objects, the first object (the indirect object) is
usually a person or a group of people and the second object (the direct object) is
usually a thing:
 He lent me his pen.
If we want to reverse the order and place the direct object first, then the indirect
object has to be converted into a phrase beginning with either to or for:
 He lent his pen to me.
 The teacher explains about:
Direct object Indrirect object
 It is the word that recieves directly
the action of the verb.
 It is the word that recieves
indirectly the action of the verb
 The indirect object can be in

distint position of the direct
object.
THE USE OF TO IN THIS THENSE
If we want to emphasize the person, we put the person after the thing. Then
we use the preposition to. For example:
 I was sent a letter to Juan.
Using the words describe, explain, report and say – we always put
the person after the thing. Then we use the preposition to. For example:
 I explain this rule to you.

In passive voice we pretend that the indirect object will be the subject.

1. Active Voice: Mary gave the students the book.
Passive Voice: The students were given the books by Mary.
2. Active Voice: My boyfriend sent me a message.
Passive Voice: I was sent a message by my boyfriend.
3. Active Voice: John lent a new car to my sister.
Passive Voice: My sister was lent a new car by John.
4. Active Voice: I give a wonderful gift to my mom.
Passive Voice: My mom is given a wonderful gift by me.

BY WITH PASSIVES
We use by only to emphasize the person who do that.
Some authors establish the passive voice with by and without by.
If we want to say who or what does the action we use by.
