The recipient precedes the thing sent and appears without a preposition.
Why it works: Indirect object: “the client.” Direct object: “the revised estimate.”
This is one of the site’s deepest example collections: 300 original examples organized across 6 practical categories. Search, filter, and compare patterns without reading the list in order.
Correct indirect-object structures make who receives something clear and help writers choose naturally between double-object forms and prepositional alternatives using to or for.
Use these fuller examples to see what changes between a recognizable pattern and a finished piece of writing. The examples are original or explicitly illustrative, so they demonstrate structure without inventing real-world evidence.

Different grammar frameworks sometimes use broader semantic labels, so the page states which structural definition it is using.
Why it works: The first has an indirect object; in the second, “to the client” is a prepositional phrase expressing the recipient.
These transformations make the hidden planning step visible so the template does not become a fill-in-the-blanks substitute for judgment.

| Level | What changes | Quality test |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition | Identify the direct object first, then find the recipient or beneficiary in a double-object structure. | The indirect object normally appears before the direct object without a preposition in this framework. |
| Verb patterns | Use only verbs that naturally permit a double-object construction and distinguish recipient from thing transferred, communicated, or created. | The sentence sounds grammatical before it is used as an example. |
| Alternation & clarity | Compare double-object wording with a to/for prepositional alternative when both are natural. | A to/for phrase is described as a prepositional phrase rather than automatically relabeled an indirect object. |
