Indirect vs. Direct object pronouns:
Just as in English, verbs can be accompanied
by direct and indirect objects.
• A direct object is the noun or pronoun that the
verb acts directly on.
• An indirect object is the person affected by the
action but not acted directly upon. Recipient of
verb’s action. (to whom/what action occurs)
• Ex: In a sentence ex…"I see Sam," "Sam" is
the direct object of "see" because "Sam" is
the object that seen.
• Ex: In a sentence ex…"I am writing Sam a
letter," "Sam" is the indirect object. The item
being written is "letter," so "letter" is the direct
object. "Sam" is the indirect object as one who
is affected by the verb's action on the direct
