You're welcome, Farhaj.

Ask your teacher about "indirect objects". The verbs that take indirect objects are called "ditransitive verbs". They are a sub-set of "transitive verbs".

About reflexive pronouns, what do you want to know exactly?

A predicate nominal is the name of the noun that follows a linking verb. It's also called a subject complement.

A direct object is the name of the noun that follows a transitive verb, a non-linking verb.

An indirect object is the name of the noun or prepositional phrase that follows a di-transitive verb.

An object is can be a noun that follows a preposition (e.g., at the store) or a verb that follows another verb (e.g., I can swim.)
