Double Object Pronouns--answering questions

Question

How would you answer the following question with double object pronouns?

¿Vas a enviarles libros a las nuevas directoras?

I have "Sí, yo voy a enviar," but there are no double object pronouns in my answer. Help.

Answer 1

Si, voy a enviarselos.

Enviar is one of the many words that requires you to use an indirect object once you use it.

Verb: Enviar

Direct object: los libros - los

Indirect object: las nuevas director - les

Ideally you will say: Si, voy a enviarleslos

However, when you have le/ les in combination with the direct object pronouns lo, los, la and las, you convert le/les to se.

Hence why you say: Si, voy a enviarselos. / Si, se los voy a enviar.

Some other verbs that frequently have indirect objects are:

1) contestar

2) decir

3) enviar

4) escribir

5) mandar

6) pedir

7) contar (ue)

8) devolver (ue)

9) explicar

10) mostrar (ue)

11) preguntar

12) prestar

13) regalar
