Created page with '''For a definition of the double object construction see Double Object Construction (definition)'' == Note == # Tako gave Zelda the cake # Dave bought Melissa the flowers…'

New page

''For a definition of the double object construction see [[Double Object Construction (definition)]]''

== Note ==

# Tako gave Zelda the cake
# Dave bought Melissa the flowers

Gaelic does not have double object constructions like (1)-(2), as can be seen in (3)-(4). Instead, the [[Indirect Object (definition)|indirect object]] must appear after the [[Direct Object (definition)|direct object]] and must be contained in a prepositional phrase as in (5)-(6).

Note the different prepositions (i.e. ''to'' and ''for'') used in (5) and (6).
