What verbs could be used in a sentence with an indirect object Wait Made or Went?

It seems like you might be asking about verbs that could be used in sentences with indirect objects like "Wait Made" or "Went." However, "Wait Made" and "Went" aren't grammatically correct combinations. Let's break down why and explore some possibilities:

"Wait Made"

* "Wait" is a verb that usually describes an action of staying in one place, often expecting something.

* "Made" is a verb that usually describes the act of creating something.

To make this grammatically correct, you need to change the structure. Here are some options:

* "Made someone wait" - This is a common phrase meaning to cause someone to wait.

* "Wait for someone to make..." - This is a more complex structure where someone waits for another person to create something.

"Went"

* "Went" is a verb that describes the action of moving to a different location.

"Went" doesn't typically work as an indirect object because it needs a direct object to describe where it went. Here's an example:

* "He went to the store" - "Store" is the direct object.

Verbs for Indirect Objects

To use verbs with indirect objects, you need verbs that can take two objects:

* Direct object: The thing that receives the action of the verb directly.

* Indirect object: The person or thing that is indirectly affected by the action.

Here are some common verbs that take indirect objects:

* Give: He gave *her* the book. (Her = indirect object, Book = direct object)

* Tell: She told *him* a story. (Him = indirect object, Story = direct object)

* Show: I showed *them* the picture. (Them = indirect object, Picture = direct object)

* Send: They sent *me* a postcard. (Me = indirect object, Postcard = direct object)

Examples

* "The baker made him a cake." (Him = indirect object, Cake = direct object)

* "She waited for him to finish the task." (For him = prepositional phrase, not an indirect object)

* "He went to the meeting." (To the meeting = prepositional phrase, not an indirect object)
