Is this sentence correct?

Hi all

What have you got me for my birthday?

I didn't understand the function of the pronoun 'me' above.
  

Top answer

Its grammatical function is indirect object of got . The direct object is what . This may be easier to see in a statement: I got you a shovel for your birthday.
