Objects

There are two types of Objects : Direct Object and Indirect Object.
If there are two or more Objects in a sentence, a living Noun or a Personal Pronoun is the Indirect Object; while all other Objects are Direct Objects; for example :
Please bring me a glass of water.
Will you tell him your tale of adventure?
In the above sentences, a glass of water and your tale of adventure are Direct Objects, while me and him are Indirect Objects. So, Verb+whom is the Indirect Object and Verb+what is the Direct Object.
We can also write the above Objects in the following ways :
Please bring a glass of water for me.
Will you tell your tale of adventure to him?
