An example of a sentence containing an indirect object:

Give me that newspaper.

In this sentence, "that newspaper" is what is actually given, and is the direct object. But what about the word "me"? It is the indirect object.

The indirect object comes before the direct object. It could be replaced by "to me", but when you replace the indirect object by a prepositional phrase like that, you have to rearrange the sentence, putting the direct object immediately after the verb:

Give that newspaper to me.

Some other examples (with the indirect object in bold):

Tell your sister what happened this morning.

Pay them $20 each.

Show the doctor your finger.
