The indirect object complement

The indirect object complement (French: le complément d'objet indirect, COI) indirectly completes the verb most often through a preposition. The verb used with an COI is an indirect transitive verb verb.

To find the COI of the verb, it is most enough to ask questions:

  • à qui ? à quoi ?

to whom? to what?

  • de qui ? de quoi ?

of who? of what?
