What is the difference between a comedy and a tragedy?

A tragedy usually includes a "bad ending" such as a character dying or a pet dying etc. A comedy is humor, or "funny" material.  A tragedy example is romeo and juliet, with both of them dying at the end. A comedy, in the form of a show, would be Sienfield or F.r.i.e.n.ds.

Hope this helps.

In a comedy the protagonist is put into funny situations that lead to a happy ending, while in a tragedy the main character suffers bad luck and loss

Instead of using a common noun like "dog" as the indirect object, we can use a gerund, which functions as a noun. Example: "Charles gave running the marathon his best shot." Here, "his best shot" is the direct object, so "running" is the indirect object and a gerund.
