Direct objects

• The pronoun receives the action of a verb and
  answers the question whom or what.
• Bad storms scare me. (Me is the direct object
  because it answers the question scare whom?)
• Do you like them? (like what? Them)

4
Indirect Objects

• The pronoun tells to whom or what or for whom or
  what an action is performed.
• Give me an explanation of how hurricanes form.
  (Me answers the question to whom? And
  explanation is what is being given so it is the
  indirect object.)
• I told him the story of Hurricane Floyd.

5
Objects of a Preposition

• The pronoun follows a preposition (such as to,
  from, for, against, by, or about).
• When he sees big storms, he runs from them.
  (from is the preposition and them is the object)
• The storm is coming straight at us.

  between
• Its a contest between him and me. (NOT between
  he and I.)
