The Dative and Accusative forms of the pronoun are identical. Him may be a direct object - Shoot him! - or an indirect object - Give him the book.
Him is direct object
Clarification: In English vocabulary, the difference between the direct object and the indirect object form is insignificant; they are the same word.
There are only two forms of personal pronouns in English: subjective and objective:
I/me, you/you, he/him, she/her, it/it, we/us, they/them.
(Note that the expressions "dative" and "accusative" do no apply to English grammar. English and Dutch are derived from Old LOW German and have lost the noun-declension feature--the "case system". Germanic languages derived from Old HIGH German still maintain an elaborate case system, as do the slavic languages, Latin, and others.)
In grammar, technique can serve as either a direct object or an indirect object, depending on how it is used in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She taught me a new technique," "me" is the indirect object and "a new technique" is the direct object.
Direct object: food Indirect object: dog
I gave my dog a bone ('my dog' = indirect object; 'a bone' = direct object). They called me a taxi. (taxi - direct object, me- indirect object)
Direct object: his first film Indirect object: Spielberg
In the sentence "Your visit to the museum was educational", "visit" is the direct object. An indirect object would typically receive the direct object, such as in the sentence "I gave her a gift" where "her" is the indirect object receiving the direct object "gift".
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
