Rewrite the sentences replacing both the DO & IO with pronouns.

Question

1. Elena repitió la pregunta a Juan y Pablo.
2. Ella dio el libro a mi.

Answer 1

Give it a try and post your result. What pronoun could you use for 'la pregunta'? and another for 'Juan y Pablo'.

Answer 2

I will give a hint: a DO receives the action of the verb and an IO receives the DO.

Bob gave Bill the money.

Money is what is being given; so, money is the DO. Bill is receiving the money; therefore, Bill is the IO.

Bob gave him it. (Or, Bob gave it to him).

Technically, in English, once the IO is preceded with "to" or "for" it is no longer the IO, but it still is in concept. - webdunce, Aug 29, 2010
