Hi Craig.

There's only one subject, but there is a direct object and an indirect object, as well as an adverb in that sentence.

Do you want to try again?

Hint: It coudl also have been written "The woman quickly gives a drink to the man" if that helps you figure out the direct and indirect objects.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

the man is the indirect object and the drink is the direct object

Is this correct or the other way round?
