    Parts of sentences:
    Subject: who or what does the action
    Predicate: the action

    ^ Those two are the essentials

    Direct object
    Subject complement
    Indirect object - Not that common
    Prepositional Phrase

    Horace (Subject) wrote (Predicate) a letter (direct object) to Priscilla (P.P)
    Horace (Subject) wrote (Predicate) Priscilla a letter

    If you place the prepositional phrase before the direct object, it will become an indirect object.
    An indirect object will always come before the direct object

    A prepositional phrase always begins with a preposition and ends with a noun.

    Intransitive verbs: verbs that can't have an object

    Javier (Subject) works (predicate) at the bookstore (Prepositional phrase) and makes (predicate) very little money (direct object).

    You can't have an indirect object when you don't have a direct object.

    If she (Subject) likes (Predicate) the car (Direct Object), she (Subject) will buy (Predicate) it (Direct Object). <= Modal verb
