A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb.

An indirect object comes before the dire

In addition to Lazarus's response, my two cents as follows:

An indirect object comes either before or after the direct object.

For example,

(1) I gave him a pen. (The indirect object 'him' comes before the direct object 'a pen')

that is true a indirect object does not come in a prepisitional phrase.

0 If an indirect object is not in a prepositional phrase, then how in the phrase "to him" can "him" be an indirect object? It should be the object of the preposition. 0-

0No, "with Latia" does not create an indirect object situation. If you GAVE your homework TO Latia, she is the indirect object. The homework moved from you to her. In this case, you worked with Latia to do your homework Latia is he object of the preposition "with."0-
