							| This is really puzzling me ! 
 Give me                       a present:
 indirect object         direct object
 send him                      a letter
 
 ask them                        a question
 
 Definition of indirect object : the person or "thing" that "receives " the object
 
 Give me a present : ME "receives " the object :"present"
 send him a letter :  HIM receives the object :"letter"
 ask them a question: THEM receives the object :"question"
 recommend me a restaurant: ME Cannot "receive" a restaurant!! So it should be: Can you recommend a restaurant and a good one too because after all this thinking, I deserve one!
