In the sentence below, what is the word dinner? "Fred offered to cook his mother dinner."

A) transitive verb

B) intransitive verb

C) direct object

D) indirect object

Direct object, because it's the receiver of the action.

I believe it is C) Direct object. That is the direct thing. The main subject. it is not a verb, because "Dinner" is not doing anything. Fred is doing something, but he is not the main object. Dinner is the direct object.
