Using Direct and Indirect Objects Together | The Language Tutor *Lesson 76*

I'm not able to understand I hate when you have to use se in the sentence

4 months on Duo Lingo trying to get through direct and indirect pronouns.

La camera sirvio la comida a las invitados.

The waitress served the food to the guests.


Thank you for the lessons!

Why is it : El hombre le dio la chaqueta a su amiga? Why did we put the Le infront of dio?

Hola maestro, is my answer " sí, nos las quiero comprar" to the question "quieres comprar frutas para nosotros" correct? Muchas gracias por su respuesta.

Thanks for the great lessons Danny. Question: Is the ndirect always placed before the direct " El hombre se la dio" . And im confused why there is a le before dio en this sentance "El hombre le dio la chaqueta a su amiga" What is the le before dio... it isn't a direct or indirect because they are the jacket and the friend.... Muchas gracias para tu ayuda Prof.

Hi! Thank you for your informative video on the use of IOP and DOPS together in a sentence! I’m getting a better grip on this. I do have question that’s been really stumping me:

In the waitress example you wrote out: la camarera sirvió la comida a los invitados. And then in the second example, you wrote: El
hombre le dio la chaqueta a su amiga.

Why do you include an indirect object pronoun here (“le” dio) if the indirect object is expressed already?? (su amiga)

If this is a rule, why wouldn’t you say (in the first example): la camarera les sirvió la comida a los invitados - where “les” refers to “los invitados”

Is this just a matter of preference to use IOPs when an indirect object is stated? Or do certain verbs require the use of IOPs in a sentence? If anyone can clarify this I would greatly appreciate it! 🙏🏻🤗

I am presently learning Spanish from my retired Spanish professor neighbor. She's 92, so I don't want her to have to bother with lesson plans, and I have found that coming up with my own course of study is a bit unwieldy. Then I found your channel and have been using your many lessons to augment my conversation practice. Win/win.

I’ve been so confused with this and you are the first one who can explain in a easy to understand way. Thank you so much🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Why is 'El hombre le dio'? Does it not just work to say 'El hombre dio'?

I don’t usually comment on these videos but I am 100+ lessons in and studying in Spain now. When this topic came up in class, I was confused all over again and found myself struggling for a few days with this. That was until I remembered my roots and came back to you and this video. After 6 minutes I fully understand something that nobody has been able to explain in 2 days. ¡Gracias for todos los vídeos que tú haces! Los son muy útiles para estudiantes como yo y mis compañeros de clase.

This may have been asked already... But can someone explain the le becore da? In the second ecample?

It shouldnt be there because the IO and DO nouns are already there.

Can i ask why is there a 'le' infront of 'dio'? Is it because it is referencing 'su amiga' and if it was mentioned earlier, 'su amiga' would not be there? (Referencing indirect object pt2 lesson)

Wrong sentence, It should be The man gave the jacket to HIS friend. not HER

great lesson your videos are the best,

but on 5 minutes and 20 seconds you wrote ' the MAN gave the jacket to HER friend' I didn't understand the sentence

It’s awesome! Very clear and help me a lot. Would you please teach Pretérito indefinido vs Pretérito imperfecto? I’m confused when use both of them together. Thanks

I attend a weekly higher intermediate class where my teacher is Spanish. And I find Prof. Danny's lessons to be a really useful supplement! Thank you.

Thank you for such a clear explanation. One doubt, though. What happens in situations where me me or te te come together replacing direct and indirect objects? Rgds

FYI "chaqueta" can also have a vulgar meaning in Mexican Spanish.

The original Spanish sentence should be: La camarera LES sirvió la comida a los comensales. The indirect object pronoun les is used the majority of the time. It is usually not omited. Notice that "invitados" is too literal a translation for this context of restaurant customers.

Perfect review

OK I'm still confused as to where the LA comes from. To whom the verb is done should be LE( him, her or us). Shouldn't it be se le?

muchas gracias!! Excelente lección!

Pardon this possibly stupid question, but I just want the explanation. Why is there a 'le' in the translation 'El hombre le dio la chaqueta a su amiga.'? Wouldn't 'El hombre dio la chaqueta...' suffice?

Gracias 😊 💯

If I can recommend a Lesson 76.5, it would be an explanation of how the reflexive or indirect object always comes before the direct object. Perhaps I missed it. Your videos are SO helpful. Thank you.

Why is it 5r

I don't know if this was touched on in a different lesson, but the most important takeaway I'm having here is that the indirect object pronoun precedes the direct object pronoun when both are invoked.

Greetings
I don’t understand. In one case it appears the indirect object is replaced (1st example) in the second - El hombre se le dio - it appears the direct object pronoun is replaced. I checked on Google translate and the sentence is: El hombre se la dio. Please explain. Thank you, Anne

Hi, do you have any course which i can get in?

Hello. How can we say that he gave it to me?

YOU'RE MY HERO

Quick question: what if its "the man gave the jacket to me...or to you"

I have a question about the use of "le" in the example that you gave. "El hombre le dio la chaqueta a su amiga." Why is it that you have the pronoun "le" in this sentence when you still have "a su amiga" in the sentence? ¡Gracias! I so appreciate your explanations!

I'm studying Spanish delightedly with your channel. Actually It is not easy to learn Spanish as a Korean. but after meeting your channel, I' glad to attempt new challenges. Thank you.

Hey guys, I would like to practice English. Anyone who can help me please? I'm Peruvian

why se followed by la and not la followed by se?

You would have an A+ on rate my professor as well as the chili pepper icon.

I'm really having difficulty with direct and indirect object.

Thanks for this

Anyone else feeling like they need to go back to a basic ENGLISH grammar class🤔😩👀🤣🤣
Man! I need to refresh(aka learn) my English hahahaha😳💔

I am still confused ,,,, (I understand that sometimes L words have to change to Se but the WHICH object pronoun goes first? DOP + IOP then verb??? Or other way? I know Dr Evans is busy but can someone help me, por favor?

literally what would i do without him

You are by far the best Spanish Tutor!! Thank you soo much!

Review:

Direct Object Pronouns: me / te / lo, la / nos / os / los, las
Indirect Object Pronouns: me / te / le, la / nos / os / los / les, las

Order: [IOP] + [DOP] + Verb

Special Rule: If you use le or les, change to "se" when beside a DOP.

Plz make video on superlativos,Igualdad and Comparativos and also on Preterito indefinido

Nowhere in your direct objects and indirect object lessons do you mention the pronoun se. Now you pull it out and just say they will understand…. ? That is very a weak explanation.
