A2

Formation

me, te, le, nos, os, les + verbo — a menudo con 'a + persona' de refuerzo

Explanation

The indirect object says to/for whom: me, te, le, nos, os, les. They go before the conjugated verb: Le doy el libro (I give the book to him/her). Spanish often adds a redundant a + person for clarity: A María le doy el libro. When both a direct and an indirect pronoun appear, le/les becomes se before lo/la: Se lo doy.

Examples

Le doy un regalo.
I give him/her a gift.
Nos trae la cuenta.
He brings us the bill.

Note

gustar-type verbs always use these pronouns: Me gusta, Le interesa, Nos encanta.
