What is an indirect object?

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