* me
* you
* him
* her
* it
* us
* them
They are used to indicate the recipient of an action or the person or thing that benefits from the action. They usually come before the direct object in a sentence.
Here are some examples:
* Give me the book. (The book is the direct object, and me is the indirect object, receiving the book.)
* Tell him the news. (The news is the direct object, and him is the indirect object, receiving the information.)
* She bought us some cookies. (The cookies are the direct object, and us is the indirect object, benefiting from the purchase.)
Note: Indirect object pronouns can be used with verbs like:
* give
* tell
* show
* buy
* make
* send
* offer
In addition to the regular indirect object pronouns, there are also compound indirect object pronouns:
* to me
* to you
* to him
* to her
* to it
* to us
* to them
* for me
* for you
* for him
* for her
* for it
* for us
* for them
These are used in a similar way to the regular indirect object pronouns, but they emphasize the direction or purpose of the action.
For example:
* He gave the book to me. (Emphasizes that the book was given directly to the speaker.)
* She bought a gift for him. (Emphasizes that the gift was intended for the person mentioned.)
It's important to remember that indirect object pronouns are only used in sentences with two objects: a direct object and an indirect object. If the sentence has only one object, it will be a direct object, and an indirect object pronoun will not be used.
