4 Indirect Objects The indirect object is the person who receives the direct object or the person who benefits from the action of the verb. Use the preposition “a” before an indirect object. Not all sentences have an indirect object. There must be a direct object in a sentence before there can be an indirect object.

Un banquero le prestó dinero.  A banker lent him money.
