A sentence must have a subject and a main verb. It may also have an indirect object: This book is for you.
Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
"Man" is the indirect object.A sentence must have a direct object to contain an indirect object. The direct object is who or whatreceives the action of the verb. Sheila (subject) gave (verb) what? Sweater is the direct object. The indirect object is who or what receives the direct object. Who received the sweater? Man.
Does the verb do something to or for the object? Really, a better question is if the sentence can be reworded to include a preposition.Example: Mark gave Louis the book.Louis is the indirect object because the book, the direct object/ what the verb is acting on, is being given TO him.You can rewrite it as: Mark gave the book to Louis. *Keep in mind that in this form, "Louis" is an object of a preposition, but changing the sentence helps to identify the direct object, and therefore the indirect object.
no an indirect obj must come between the subject and direct objFrom Kenwg:Actually, the direct object usually comes between the subject and the indirect object.Consider: "He gave the ball to us"He = subjectgave = verbthe ball = direct objectto = prepositionus = indirect object pronoun.Of course, you could say "He gave us the ball", in which case the positions of the direct and indirect objects are indeed reversed - "us", the indirect object, is between the subject and the direct object. But it is not correct to say the either "must" come in one position or the other.In Kenwg's first example, "to us" is a prepositional phrase, and "us" is a prepositional object rather than an indirect object.To the original questioner, I'm not sure. The best I can come up with off the top of my head is something like "John showed Dick[IO] Dick[DO].", where John might be holding a mirror up; but that has both objects being the same fellow. I don't believe an indirect object can actually be a direct object—not without being specified separately.See also Russell's paradox.The indirect object always goes before the direct object. The order shows which is the direct or indirect.The indirect object can be changed into a phrase beginning to or for .
It depends on how you use it, for example: "The bedroom is purple" The word bedroom is the subject. "He hit the bedroom" The word bedroom is the direct object. "We drink water in the bedroom" The word bedroom is the object of the preposition 'in'; 'in the bedroom.' is the indirect object of the verb.
A sentence must contain a subject and a verb; it can also have and object and phrases, prepositions, conjuctions, etc
Directly without intermediate, direct and established and the object of Association,and Indirect when associated with a given object, must be associated with a medium, without intermediate medium will not produce association.

In order to have a direct object, a sentence must include an action verb that directly affects and is followed by a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. This noun or pronoun is the direct object of the sentence.
A complete sentence must have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or the action taking place). It must also express a complete thought and be punctuated correctly.
In English grammar, "what" is used to ask about things or ideas, while "whom" is used to ask about people or objects that are the object of a verb or preposition. "What" is used for subjects and direct objects, while "whom" is used for indirect objects and objects of prepositions. For example, "What are you reading?" asks about the thing being read, while "Whom did you give the book to?" asks about the person receiving the book.
Every preposition must have an object, typically a noun or pronoun, to complete its meaning in a sentence. This object of the preposition connects the preposition to the rest of the sentence and helps clarify the relationship between the words.
