ECT AND INDIRECT OBJECTS

In the English language verbs with two objects are followed by two different types of
objects.
Let's have a look at the following examples.

I sent Mary some flowers.

Subject Verb Indirect object Direct object

I sent some flowers to Mary.

Subject Verb Direct object Indirect object
ECT AND INDIRECT OBJECTS

These two sentences contain both kinds of

objects. 
Flowers are the direct object.
It refers to what I sent.
Mary is the indirect object.
It refers to whom I sent it.
As you can see, the word order in these two sentences is different
- Mary and flowers can be placed first or second in each of these examples.

3. If the direct object is a pronoun (it, this ... ), it comes first and we must use a
preposition.
Compare the difference in the following examples.

I bought it for my sister.

Can you send it to him?

I'll get it for you as soon as I can.

(Not: I bought my sister it. Can you send him it? I'll get you it as soon as I can.)
