Is the word in bold a direct object or an indirect object? The bank loaned Reba money for her new advertising business.

There are no words in bold, so I will answer in a way that will help you independently of what the word is.

If the word in bold is "Reba", we have an indirect object.

If the word in bold is "money", we have a direct object.

Explanation:

Some verbs, such as "buy", "give" or "loan" often require two types of object. The direct object is the thing that is being bought, given, or loaned. It is the direct receiver of the action performed by the verb. The indirect object is the person to or for whom something is bought, given, or loaned. Depending on its position in the sentence, it may or may not appear preceded by a preposition (such as "to").

The different types of object answer different types of question:

- The bank loaned Reba money for her new advertising business.

1. The bank loaned what? Money. (direct object)

2. The bank loaned money to whom? Reba (indirect object)
