The noun 'pen' can be the subject, the direct object, or the indirect object of a sentence or phrase. Examples:
Subject: The pen is out of ink.
Object: I need a new pen.
Indirect Object: The sheep are behind the barn in a pen.
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
I gave my dog a bone ('my dog' = indirect object; 'a bone' = direct object). They called me a taxi. (taxi - direct object, me- indirect object)
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.
This is how you can distinguish/recognize the indirect object from the direct object.The indirect object always goes before the direct object. (direct object is bold / indirect subject is italics)I gave Jim the book.The indirect object can be changed into a phrase beginning with to.I gave the book to Jim
