Indirect object pronoun

In lesson 2.3 the statement is made that if a sentence has a indirect object, then an indirect object pronoun must be used. In another course, examples are given without the pronoun -- Juan da el libro a ella. No pronoun is used. Can someone explain the contradiction? Gracias, Willy

Not true, but it is omitted only in rare occasions.

"Juan da el libro a ella" is grammatically wrong. With "a ella" as an indirect pronoun, "le" is compulsory.

So it must be: "Juan le da el libro a ella"? - Azabache, May 12, 2011
That, or "Juan le da el libro", but not the version without the pronoun. - lazarus1907, May 12, 2011
