Indirect+Objects


 * Indirect Objects **

Subject - Verb - Indirect Object - Direct Object:

An indirect object is a noun, and it receives the direct object.

For example: 1st: Sent is the verb. 2nd: Who sent? I = subject. 3rd: I sent what? a letter = direct object 4th: To whom? mom = mom received the letter.
 * I sent my mom a letter. **

Some important things about the Indirect Object: It is ALWAYS between the verb and the direct object. It is NEVER after the direct object.
