To find the indirect object in a sentence, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the action verb: The action verb in this sentence is "gave."
2. Ask yourself who or what received the direct action of the verb: In this case, "a ride" is the direct object because it directly receives the action of being given.
3. Ask yourself to or for whom or what the action was done: The noun or pronoun answering this question is the indirect object. In this sentence, "my friend" answers the question of who received the ride.
Therefore, in the sentence "I gave my friend a ride," the indirect object is "my friend."
