Whats your guess?

fThe indirect object of a sentence is the recipient of the direct object. Every sentence must contain a verb. Most verbs have a direct object (the thing being acted upon). For example:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Paula passed the parcel. (The direct object is the parcel. There is no recipient in this sentence. Therefore, there is no indirect object.) Some sentences tell us about the recipient. That's the indirect object. For example: Paula passed her father the parcel. (The indirect object (i.e., the recipient) is her father.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When there is both an indirect object and a direct object, the direct object tells what and the indirect object tells who! So who are you sending flowers to?

@Lonibennett Who are you send the flowers to?
