10. Mr. Cruncher made the observation (DO) {to his next neighbour} (IO). |

Notes
1. The verbal (infinitive) "to stop" functions as the direct object of "called." In the regular IO version, "the driver" functions simultaneously as the indirect object of "called" and the subject of the infinitive.
2. The infinitive "to show" functions as the direct object of "desired," and the direct and indirect objects are to the infinitive.
3. "Day" is a noun that functions as an adverb. See KISS Level 2.3.
