Indirect Objects

Nouns and pronouns also function as indirect objects. These objects are the beneficiaries or recipients of the action in a sentence. Indirect objects answer the questions "to/for whom" and "to/for what." For example:

My aunt opened her purse and gave the man a quarter.

It was his birthday so Mom had baked Bob a chocolate cake.

In the first example, the man is given a coin. The quarter is a direct object and it benefits the man, an indirect object. In the second example, the cake is the direct object and it benefits Bob, the indirect object.
