Many verbs can have two objects – one direct object and one indirect object.
Usually the indirect object refers to a person, and this often comes first.
For example: "He gave his sister a camera". If we put the indirect object last, we use a preposition (usually to or for). For example: "I passed my licence to the policeman".
