    The indirect object in a sentence is often preceded by the prepositions "to" or "for", making it easier to identify. When the direct object comes before the indirect object in a sentence, a preposition like "to" will usually appear between them. Identifying the indirect object can be done by looking for nouns or pronouns following "to" or "for".

    The Indirect Object Is Often Preceded by "To" for "For.

    "
    Often, the preposition "to" (and sometimes "for") will precede the
    indirect object, which makes spotting the indirect object much easier.
    This happens when the direct object (bold text) comes before the
    indirect object.
     She gave a letter to Jennifer.
    Compare the example above to this:
     She gave Jennifer a letter.
    (The preposition "to" is now omitted.)
    Here are some more examples with "to":
     He presented the prize to the winning captain.
     He bought lunch for Alison.
     When giving jewellery as a present, I'm
    giving protection to someone I care about. (Actress Sofia Boutella)
