Brenden Strong · Answer 1

Samson = Subject (reason why: Samson is doing the giving)

Gave = Verb (reason why: Samson "gave")

Philistines = Indirect Object (reason why: the Philistines received the riddle)

Riddle = Direct Object (reason why: this is what Samson gave the Philistines)

Kyleigh Greene · Answer 2

Samson gave the philistines a riddle

S (subject) = Samson

V (verb) = gave

IO (indirect object) = the philistines

DO (direct object) = a riddle

Explanation:

1. The subject of the sentence is the person who performs the action, in this case Samson.

2. The verb of a sentence is the word that defines the action that is being performed, in this case, it is the verb give that is in the past (gave).

3. The indirect object is who receives the action, in this case, the philistines.

4. And the direct object is what the action falls on, that is, in this case, it answers the question: What did Samson give to the philistines? And the answer is a riddle.
