Identifying the parts of a sentence: Verb - the action or state of being Subject – who does the action who or what + verb = subject Direct Object – who or what receives the action directly S+V+ who or what = D.O. Indirect Object – to whom or for whom the action is done S+V+(D.O.) + to whom or for whom=I.O.

Identifying an Indirect Object: The I.O. answers the question “to whom?” or “for whom” the action of the verb is performed. S + V + (D.O.) + to whom or for whom = Indirect Object I am giving the gift to her.
