              There are two types of objects in a sentence, direct and indirect  The objects which are directly ‘acted on’
              by the verb are called direct objects. A direct object always answers the question ‘what’, for example, if the
              question is “what do you eat?”, then the answer will be ‘bread’, here bread is the direct object because it
              answers the question ‘what’.
              The indirect object answers the question ‘to whom’ and ‘for whom’, for example, “My father gave money to
              my brother”, here ‘my brother’ is the indirect object.
