Reviewing Indirect Objects

• The IO tells us where the DO is going.
• The IO answers the question to whom or for
  whom.
• In order for a sentence to have a IO it must
  also have a DO.

• Sometimes the DO is not stated but rather is
  implied or understood.
• The IO pronouns are me te le nos os les.
• In a negative sentence place the pronoun between
  the negative word and the conjugated verb.

Reviewing Indirect Objects

• Think in phrases do not translate word-for-word.
• Le and les are ambiguous.
• Prepositional phrases are often used for clarity
  and for emphasis.
