Two objects in an active sentences – two possible passive sentences
When there are two objects in an active sentence, there are two possible active sentences and two possible passive sentences.

Sentence 1: The professor gave the students the books.
Sentence 2: The professor gave the books to the students.
There are two objects in each of the following sentences:

Object 1 = indirect object → the students
Object 2 = direct object → the books
An indirect object is very often a person, a direct object a thing. When a direct object is followed by an indirect one, we put to in front of the indirect object.

Active sentence 1
Subject Verb indirect Object direct Object
The professor gave the students the books.
Active sentence 2
Subject Verb direct Object indirect Object with to
The professor gave the books to the students.
Each of the objects (books/students) in the active sentences can become subject in the passive sentence.

Passive sentence 1
Subject Verb Object (by-agent)
The students were given the books. (by the professor).
Passive sentence 2
Subject Verb Object (by-agent)
The books were given to the students (by the professor).
