A noun that receives the action verb would be the indirect object! That may seem strange. Let's work it out. He gave John the book. Who did the action? He did the action. He is the subject. What action was done? He Gave. Gave is the action done. What did he give? He gave the book. Book is the direct object. Who received the book? John received the book? John is the indirect object! Book is the direct object. It is the item on which the action is performed.
