I take Latin and I think about it this way.
Direct objects are the item that is directly talked about.
For example:the museum does not allow cameras. Cameras would be the direct object. What does the museum not allow? Cameras, that is why it’s the direct object.
Indirect object is the item that is usually paired with to or for.
For example: show the teacher and the class your postcards from the exhibit. The exhibit would be the indirect object. To whom are you doing the showing to? The class and the teacher, subject. What are you doing? Showing, the verb. What’s the direct object? The postcards because that is what is being showed. So the indirect object would be the exhibit. Where are the postcards from? The exhibit, the indirect object.
