Direct and indirect

Sir,


1.I gave RAM a ball.

I have to make questions for direct and indirect object.


"RAM" is an indirect object.

1.Whom did you give a ball.

2.To whom did you give a ball.

Which one is correct?


"a ball" is a direct object?

1.What did you give RAM.

2.What did you give to RAM.

Which one is correct?

Thanks.

A short, generally correct definition.  Direct object receives the action of the verb:  threw the ball; sent the gift.  Indirect object receives the direct object:  threw me the ball; sent her the gift.  There isn't always an indirect object to go with the direct object, but there must be a direct object before you can have an indirect object.

Just to confuse the matter a little:  there are some cases where the indirect object can be replaced by a prepositional phrase, as in he threw the ball to me; sent the gift to her.  The result is the same, but the structure is different.  

please you help me direct and indirect

please

X moves from Person a to Person b.
At the end, Person b has the thing (X).

a:  the subject
b:  the indirect object

Mr. Atkins [gave / sent / brought] Mr. Brown a big package.

Mr. Atkins is the subject.
Mr. Brown is the indirect object
a big package is the direct object
