An Indirect Object receives the benefit of the action of the verb: I bought my girlfriend a sandwich .

  • An Indirect Object receives the benefit of the action of the verb: I bought my girlfriend a sandwich .
  • 3-- Objects of prepostions are the nouns that are usually to the right of the preposition and indicate the origin of the prepositional action or position: The sandwich is on the table .
