• 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
  verbs 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 object.
