Transitive verbs:
Some transitive verbs (for example: bring, break, give, offer, sell, send, show, and tell) are often followed by two objects without prepositions. In this case, the order after the verb is first the indirect object (object pronoun or noun without a preposition), then the direct object (numeral/article + noun).
She gave him two books.
They offered me a good job.
He sent her a present.
The teacher told the students a story.
Transitive verbs take a noun phrase (NP) as a direct object. Past participles of transitive verbs can also be used as adjectives.
The broken window is there.
Object of a preposition
If there are two objects after the verb, the word order is first the direct object, then the object with preposition. There are 3 kinds of objects: a direct object, an indirect object, and an object of a preposition. How can you tell if a word is an indirect object or the object of the preposition?
If it comes just after a preposition – then it's the object of the preposition.
If it does not come just after a preposition – then it's an indirect object.
Also, the indirect object is usually followed by the direct object. The object of the preposition does not.
A direct object receives the action of the verb. In other words, it is directly affected by verb.
I saw her.
She is making a pancake.
The dogs noticed the bone.
An indirect object is the receiver of the direct object, and it usually comes just before the direct object. (Kime?)
He bought his friend a present. "His friend" is the indirect object. Genelde kime sorusunun yanıtıdır.
He gave his mother flowers.
Jack is telling them the news.
The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun governed by a preposition.

This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. (Neil Armstrong)
Are those biscuits on the table for the dogs?
Emma gave Ronnie the book. (Ronnie is the indirect object.)
Emma gave the book to Ronnie. (Ronnie is the object of the preposition.) ( And by the way, these two sentences basically have the same meaning.)
The words that follow a preposition are called the object of the preposition.
The cat ran under the car. (“The car” is the object of the preposition “under”.)
Can you give this parcel to him tomorrow? (“Him” is the object of the preposition “to”.)
At noon, at = preposition; noon = noun or the object of the preposition.
Behind them, behind = preposition; them = pronoun or the object of the preposition.
Without sneezing, without = preposition; sneezing = gerund or the object of the preposition.
The object of the preposition will often have modifiers that add description:
In class today, we talked about what Mr. Duncan expects in our next research essay.
About = preposition; what Mr. Duncan expects in our next research essay = noun clause or the object of the preposition.
Objects of prepositions are in the objective case
The noun or pronoun governed by a preposition is always in the objective case. In English, this only affects pronouns.
Go with her. (The pronoun “her” is the objective case version of “she”.)
Sit near them. (The pronoun “them” is the objective case version of “hey”.)
You want me to talk to whom? (The pronoun “whom” is the objective case version of “who”.)
