THE INDIRECT OBJECT
The indirect object of the verb answers the question "To Whom?" and "To What?" or " For What?" something
is done or given. A verb has an indirect object only if it also has a direct object.
i.o. d.o.
ex. Tell me a story. (Tell a story to whom?)
i.o. i.o. d.o.
Joe did her and me a favor. (Did a favor for whom?)
If words to and for appear in the sentence, they become part of a prepositional phrase.
i.o. d.o.
ex. Helen told Sue a joke
Helen told a joke to Sue ("To Sue" is a prepositional phrase, not an indirect object)
Identifying Indirect Objects. Underline the indirect object in each of the following sentences. Label direct
objects with the initials d.o. (Note: all sentences are the same -"to whom?")
d.o.
