Subject: Question about Complements

Dear Mr. Veit,

Hi, I'm Stephanie Lim, an 8th grader attending Pinewood School, CA,and I
would like to know whether or not an indirect object and an objective
complement can exist to be grammatically correct in a sentence.
Currently in our Writing class we have been learning about complements,
indirect object, direct object, and objective complements, and our
teacher is unsure of whether an indirect object and an objective
complement can be in the same snetence because many grammar textbooks do
not state if in that case it is correct or incorrect. 

I am very interested whether sentences can obtain an indirect object and
obective complement like in the sentence "I gave him the present
unwrapped" because i would like to acknowledge people whether that in
this case the sentence can be grammatically correct or incorrect and
why. Thank you for taking your time to read my request.Please reply to
me soon if possible. Thank you for reading my email again.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Lim
