Front Indirect Object
Back The indirect object of a verb is not directly affected by the action, but can either receive the direct object or have the action done for them. For example: She sent James the letter. ('letter' is the direct object as it is directly affected by the action and 'James' is the indirect object as he receives the letter.)
