Sentence Structures

  • English has subject, direct object, indirect object (“she’s giving food to the children”, with subject being she, direct object being food and the children being the indirect object”)

  • The above sentence can be written as “she’s giving the children food”, which is how German sentences are structured with the subject, indirect object, and direct object

  • So that sentence can be written as Sie gibt ihren kinder gegessen
