Good morning...  In the following sentence model, which is the direct and
the indirect object of the transitive verb? Is reading assigned, or is an
implied reader(s) assigned? Funny that I've only today been caused to
consider this more closely...


*Mr. Chorazy assigned two chapters of reading.*
**
**
I could reword this numerous ways: Two chapters were assigned for homework;
The students were assigned two chapters, etc. Does either change who/what
is actually being assigned? Is "to" implied somehow when using this
particular verb?



Thank you!
