The indirect object identifies to or for whom or what the action of the verb is performed.

Answer 8

Watch...I kicked the ball to Tom. I kicked what or whom = Direct object. To whom or to what = indirect object. So ball is direct object and Tom is the indirect object

Answer 9

@Love_Ranaa Thanks!Ilove your Nicki Minaj photo!:)

Answer 10

their parents helped them directly not indirectly...

Answer 11

@Tjbrew

direct object
a noun or pronoun that answers the question What? or Whom? after an action verb

indirect object
a noun or pronoun that answers the question To or for whom? or To or for what? after an action verb

Answer 12

"them" is receiving the action of "help" directly.
