Indirect Object - Glossary of Terms Indirect Object The indirect object of a sentence is the recipient of the verb.  Every sentence must contain a verb.  Most verbs have a direct object (the thing being acted upon).  Some verbs have an indirect object (the recipient). Examples: Paula passed the parcel. (There is no recipient in this sentence. Therefore, there is no indirect object.) Paula passed her uncle the parcel. ("her uncle" - indirect object) Paula passed the parcel to her uncle. ("her uncle" - indirect object) Let him have it. ("him" - indirect object) Interactive example:   Shall I tell the children our ghost story tonight? [show me the indirect object]
