    The work that a noun performs in a sentence is


    referred to as its grammatical function.

    Our cat caught a mouse under the sofa.


    Indirect Object – the noun that represents a person or a thing
    that receives the effect of the action of the verb. It answers the

    another noun right beside it and describes it further.
    Appositives are set off by commas.
