Indirect objects

  object. The indirect objects in these sentences
  are the people who received something you, me,
  your mom, your best friend, your best friends
  aunts mother, everyone!

Indirect objects

• Indirect objects answer the question To whom?
  or For whom? and are used when you mean to or

  objects le and les are both masculine and
  feminine. Sometimes, to make clearer to whom they
  are referring, they are accompanied by a phrase

  hablo a Paquita.)

Double ObjectPronouns

  historia, pero no tengo dinero. Mis padres me lo
  van a enviar por Western Union.
• IOP (Recipient) ____________
• Recipient me
• DOP (Thing recd.) ____________
• Thing received lo (el dinero)

20
I do!

• Mis padres me lo van a enviar por Western Union.
• Note that the indirect object precedes the direct
  object.
• Think indirect, direct object I DO!

21
L L S L

• No, this is not hardcore math! There is a
  special rule about double object pronouns that
  you will need to know if a sentence has two
  objects that both start with L, the first one
  changes to SE.

22
Por ejemplo...

• Yo envié una carta a mi hermano.
• You could say Yo le envié una carta. (I sent
  him a letter.)
• Or you could say Yo la envié a mi hermano. (I
  sent it to my brother.)
• Or you could also say Se la envié. (I sent it
  to him.)
• ? Note how the le changes to se. You cannot
  say le la envié because both objects starts
  with an L and that just sounds bad.
