11font00A short, generally correct definition. Direct object receives the action of the verb: 01i00threw the 01u00ball02u00; sent the 01u00gift02u02i00. Indirect object receives the direct object: 01i00threw 01u00me02u00 the ball; sent 01u00her02u00 the gift.02i00 There isn't always an indirect object to go with the direct object, but there must be a direct object before you can have an indirect object.02font02br
02br
01font00Just to confuse the matter a little: there are some cases where the indirect object can be replaced by a prepositional phrase, as in he 01i00threw the ball 01u00to me02u00; sent the gift 01u00to her02u00.02i00 The result is the same, but the structure is different. 02font0-

11font01b00It seems that our explanations haven't helped. Try giving us some more specific examples with what you think are the distinctions, and we can help you in case of error. Did my definitions earlier not help?02b02font00 0-
