A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the
action of a verb or shows the
result of the action. It answers the
question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb.
An indirect object comes before the direct object and tells
to whom or
for whom
the action of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object.
There must be a direct object to have an indirect object. Indirect
objects are usually found with verbs of giving or communicating like
give, bring, tell, show, take, or
offer. An indirect object is always a noun or pronoun which is not part of a prepositional phrase.
A
preposition links a noun or a pronoun (this is the
object of the preposition) with some other word or expression in the sentence.
Example:
The cow jumped over the moon.
Hope that helps. I did copy/paste most of it.
