Two guidelinesTwo guidelines
1. The Indirect Object tells us where the DO is going. It answers “what” or “who”.
2. The Indirect Object answers the question “to whom?” or “for whom?” the action of the verb is performed.
You bought the candies for Melina. Tú compraste los dulces para Melina. You bought them for Melina.
Tú_______ compraste para Melina. You bought the candies for her. Tú _______ compraste los chocolates (a
Melina).In Spanish, you can clarify who by writing the
person’s name at the end of the sentence even thought it might sound repetitive. You cannot do this for Direct Object pronouns.

PrácticaPrácticaWe sent the girl a doll. Nosotros enviamos la muñeca a la niña.
We sent it to the girl. Nosotros la enviamos a la niña.
We sent the doll to her. Nosotros le enviamos la muñeca.
What if you want to say “We sent it for/to her?”

Note that the indirect object precedes the direct object.
Think “indirect, direct object”: I DO.
Double trouble.Double trouble.In all of the examples,
there are two objects. That is, someone is giving something to someone.
The something is the direct object and the someone (the recipient) is the indirect object).
Say what?Say what? Look at the first examples and
identify the objects: The teacher gave you an A.
– Recipient: you– Thing received: an A
The teacher gave it to you.

No, it’s not algebra class!
If a sentence has two objects that both start with L, the first one changes to SE.
Yo envié una carta a mi hermana. Yo la envié a mi hermana. Yo ____ la envié. (se)El maestro dio tarea al estudiante.
El maestro se la dio. (le la)Carmen envió unas cajas de ropa a su
amiga. Carmen se las envió. Mis padres regalaron un coche a mi
hermana. Mis padres se lo regalaron.
An example, please.An example, please. Sure! Let’s simplify this sentence: Yo
envié una carta a mi hermano. You could say either:
– Yo la envié a mi hermano.… or:
Yo le envié una carta.
But you could also say:– Yo se la envié.
– Note how the “le” changes to “se”; you can’t say “le la” because both objects start with an “l.”
Let’s practice a few!Let’s practice a few!
El maestro dio tarea al estudiante.
El maestro ___ ___ dio.
El maestro se la dio.– La = la tarea (direct object)– Se = al estudiante (indirect object)
¡¡Otro, por favor!Otro, por favor!

Carmen ___ ___ envió.
Carmen se las envió.– Las = las cajas (DOP)– Se = a su amiga (IOP)
