* Indirect Objects: Indirect objects receive the direct object. They answer the question "to whom?" or "for whom?"
* Compound: Compound means two or more things joined together.
If you have two or more indirect objects, they're usually combined with a conjunction like "and" or "or":
Example:
* I gave the books to John and Mary. ("John" and "Mary" are both indirect objects)
Why not a "compound indirect object sentence"?
The issue is that the indirect object is a single element within a sentence structure. You can't have two independent indirect objects operating separately within a sentence.
Instead, you have a compound object:
* I gave John and Mary the books. ("John and Mary" are together the object, and the books are the direct object.)
In Conclusion:
While you can have multiple indirect objects in a sentence, you won't have a "compound indirect object" in the way you might have a "compound subject" or "compound predicate."
