6. PLEASE!!!!!
Do not be confused by words in the predicate and think that they are objects.
If they answer
How?
When?
Where?
then they are NOT objects
Since those verbs have no objects, they are intransitive verbs.

For what?
the action of the verb is done.

8. They are always either a noun or a pronoun
They come between the verb and the direct object

Together, we bought our teacher a bouquet of flowers.
The officer gave her a last chance.
