Indirect objects are the people or things in a sentence to whom/what or the action of the verb occurs.

Indirect object pronouns are the words that replace the indirect object, which is usually a person.
The Spanish indirect object pronouns are as follows:
1st person me me
2nd person te you
3rd person le him, her, you, it
nos us
os you
les them, you
Like direct object pronouns, Spanish indirect object pronouns are placed in front of the verb.
I'm talking to him. -
He writes to them -
Le hablo.
Les escribe.
I'm giving the bread to you. - Te doy el pan.
She answered me - Ella me contestó.
For infinitives, present participles, and affirmative commands, pronouns can get attached to the end.

Le voy a decir
Les quiero traer el regalo
OR Voy a decirle - I'm going to tell him.
OR Quiero traerles el regalo - I want to bring the gift to them.
Note: When deciding between direct and indirect objects, the general rule is that if the person or thing is preceded by a preposition (with the exception of the personal a) that person/thing is an indirect object. If it is not preceded by a preposition, it is a direct object.
