An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object in a sentence, typically indicating to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed. It answers the question "to whom?" or "for whom?" after the verb. For example, in the sentence "She gave me a gift," "me" is the indirect object that receives the direct object "gift."
