Indicative mood. See
mood.Indirect object. Sentences in which subjects act on an object and convey that action in some manner to another thing or person are said to have indirect objects that receive the action or the object less directly than the object itself The mail carrier gave the letter to Chris
Letter is the direct object, and Chris is the indirect object in the example. Indirect objects are often preceded
by to or a similar word,
but not always The mail carrier gave me the letter Me is the indirect object in this sentence.
Pronouns are
not always indirect objects, however The clerk directed me
to the manager Here me is the direct object and manager acts as the indirect object.
Note
that pronouns in the objective (also called accusative)
case change form (are in ected)—“me” is the in ected
objective case form of Ia nominative singular form considered uninflected. See
