Great work all of you:-)
Bernie: Good.
Nadia: That's actually the indirect object (Taylor gave a hug to her young daughter); I can't make it too easy;-)
Jiaping: You now changed the direct object--see my note to Nadia.Also, you need to make the change to the sentence immediately before your post (Nadia's).
Bernie: OK-I see you changed both verbs--with two females, who does "her" refer to?
Sara: See my previous comment
Kelly: Yes, but again too many females!
Seiko: Yes.
Bernie: That works--you could have changed more than one word within that clause.
Andra: Yes.
Bernie: Good
Sara: Good.
