1. If a sentence has a direct object, there may also be an indirect object but not always.
Indirect Object- the noun (person, place, or thing) that is affected by the verb. If there is no direct object, there is no indirect object!
Use the Direct object formula first then use the second formula to find an indirect object: 
Subject + Verb + who or what = Direct Object
Direct Object + to whom or for whom = Indirect Object
EXAMPLE- My uncle gave me a guitar for my birthday.
Uncle gave who or what? guitar (DO) to whom? me (IO)

2. Preposition- shows relationship between nouns/pronouns Example: The coffee cup is on the dinner table Prepositional Phrase- a phrase that begins with a preposition and ends with the object (noun/pronoun) Example: on the dinner table P P O
