Gerunds are verb forms ending in -ing, and they function as nouns. So, gerunds can function both as indirect objects and object of the preposition in a sentence. Hope i have helped.
Yes, in a way. Gerunds are verb forms that function as nouns. For example "The law refers to smoking in public."
The object pronouns are used as the direct or indirect object of a verb, and the object of a preposition.The objective pronouns are me, us, him, her, them, and whom.The pronouns you and it can be used as the subject or an object in a sentence.Examples:Today is Jim's birthday. I made him some cookies. (indirect object of the verb 'made')To whom should I give my completed application? (object of the preposition 'to')Jane, you are a good friend. (subject of the sentence)Thank you for helping me out. (direct objects of the verbs 'thank' and 'helping')
Indirect objects are best seen as having the word 'to' omitted. In "He gave him an apple" the direct object is 'an apple' and the indirect object is 'him'. It really means 'to him'. So indirect objects are nouns or pronouns.

No, the function words are not an indirect object. Function words include prepositions, conjunctions, articles, and pronouns that serve as structural elements in a sentence, rather than indicating relationships between the subject and the object.
The indirect object is often used right before a direct object and doesnot follow a preposition, as illustrated in the phrases above. If a preposition is used, then the word becomes the object of that preposition, as in the following, where to and for are prepositions and man and yourself are their objects: I throw the ball to you. Ball is the direct object and you is the indirect object because ball rephrase what you throw and you rephrase throw to whom?

It may be. Pronouns in the objective case may be direct objects or indirect objects.
Only transitive verbs have direct or indirect objects
It's unusual for a number to be used as an indirect object, but it can be done. For example, "Give the three of them the answer to question #7." In that sentence, "three" is the indirect object.
The sentence has two direct objects. direct object - the game indirect object - your team
No, object pronouns, direct objects, and indirect objects are not interjections. Object pronouns replace nouns in sentences (e.g. "he" replaces "John"), direct objects receive the action of the verb (e.g. "I read the book"), and indirect objects receive the direct object (e.g. "I gave her a gift"). Interjections are words or phrases used to express strong feelings or emotions (e.g. "Wow!" or "Oops!").
