Explain the concept of indirect objects.

An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object of a verb. It answers the question "to whom" or "for whom" the action of the verb is done. It typically comes after the verb and before the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She gave him a book," "him" is the indirect object as it receives the direct object "a book."
