os

____les______ (to/for) them, you
(formal)

The indirect object pronoun is placed right before the ___conjugated_____ verb or can be attached to
the end of an __infinitive___________________________.

The indirect object noun can be left in the sentence or removed.
Example:
I give money to them.  I give them money.
Yo doy dinero a ellos  Yo les doy dinero. or Yo les doy dinero a ellos.
Because le and les have more than one meaning, you may want to leave the noun in the sentence in these
instances. To make the meaning clear, you add: a + the corresponding name, noun, or pronoun.
Example: I give the money to them  Yo les doy el dinero a Juan y a Miguel.
Or
Yo les doy el dinero a ellos.
C. When using BOTH D.O.P and I.O.P in a sentence, the I.O.P. comes first!
Also, if you need to use two pronouns that both begin with the letter L ( Le lo, les los)
CHANGE THE I.O.P TO “SE”  Yo compré el libro para ella  Yo se lo compré
Re-write the sentences using both Direct Object Pronouns and Indirect Object Pronouns
1. Ella da el pastel a mis hermanos.
