An indirect object is a word or phrase that receives the direct object in a sentence. It indicates the person or thing that receives what is being given or done. For example, in the sentence "She gave Zoe the letter," "Zoe" is the indirect object, and "the letter" is the direct object
. Indirect objects are typically found after the verb and before the direct object in a sentence. They are essential for understanding the relationships between the different elements of a sentence.
