For example: Sarah gave John an apple. (In this example, the indirect object is "John" because he is the recipient of the direct object "an apple," which is the thing being acted on by the verb "gave.") The vicar told us a fable.
The term reflexive is a good example. Through Latin, reflexive is related to reflect; this is useful to remember because a reflexive pronoun reflects upon a sentence's subject. Reflexive pronouns are direct or indirect objects. A reflexive pronoun can be a direct object in a sentence when the subject and the direct object are one and the same.
