I want you to do some of the work yourself. So, I'm going to help you understand Direct and Indirect Objects.

Direct Object (DO): a noun phrase denoting a person or thing that is the recipient of the action of a transitive verb, for example, in the sentence, 'Jimmy fed the dog.' the dog is the Direct Object.

Indirect Object (IO): a noun phrase referring to someone or something that is affected by the action of a transitive verb (typically as a recipient), but is not the primary object.
