∙ 12y agoThe direct object is what receives the verb. It answers the question "___ what?" The underline is the verb in the sentence.
i.e. John made a sandwich.
Sandwich is the direct object because it receives the action.
An indirect object answers the question "For what/whom?"
i.e. John made me a sandwich.
Me is the indirect object because that is what John made the sandwich for.
Note: A direct or indirect object cannot be in a prepositional phrase.
i.e. John made me a sandwich. Or, John walked for miles.
A direct or indirect object also can only be a noun or pronoun.
Hope this helped!

∙ 13y agoIn a normal simple sentence the direct and indirect objects are nouns. You can say,"He gave John the book" What did he do? He gave. What did he give? A book. The book is the direct object. To whom did he give it? He gave it to John. John was the indirect object. So in our sentence, "Pronoun gave the noun to noun." or "He gave the book to John." Is that as clear as mud?
