      Could you help me classify the subject, verb, direct object, indirect object and prepositional phrase in the following sentences that you used in the video?
      "Feel free to show us your examples."
      "Feel free to show your examples to us."

      @@blacknwhite6186 Great question!
      In the first sentence, the verb is SHOW, the direct object is EXAMPLES, and the indirect object is US. The subject, which is implied, is YOU, because the sentence is an imperative sentences meaning "[You] feel free to show us your examples."
      In the second sentence, the verb is still SHOW, the direct object is still EXAMPLES, but now we have the prepositional phrase TO US instead of an indirect object. The subject, once again implicit, is YOU.
      Hope that helps!

      @@CozyGrammar Sorry to bother you again, but this is bugging me. What is "Feel free" in both the sentences?
