Our cousins showed us the swimming hole on their ranch. (i have to underline the indirect object and underline the direct object two times. due to an appt i had to leave school early so i missed this lesson any would be appreciated. in advance.)

Our cousins showed us the swimming hole on their ranch.

The direct object is "the swimming hole on their ranch"

The indirect object is "us"

Explanation:

The direct object in a sentence is the noun that receives the action of the verb. And an indirect object is a noun that is affected by the verb, as a recipient, but is not the primary object. You can find the direct object by finding the verb and then asking yourself what? And to find the indirect object, ask yourself who? or what? received the direct object.

So in this case "Our cousins showed us the swimming hole on their ranch" the verb is "showed".

Ask what did they show? The swimming hole on their ranch (direct object)

Ask who did they show it to? Us (Indirect object)
