Double (object) pronouns

Question

Hi there I am having some trouble with double object pronouns and was hoping for some help. Thank you in advance!! The questions and what I think are the correct responses are as follows:

¿Quién le regalaste el libro? Se lo regalé a mi abuela.

¿Quién le regalaste los discos compactos? Se los regale a mis hermanas.

¿Quién les compró las bicicletas a ti y a tu hermano? Nos las compraron nuestros padres.

¿A quién le mandaste dinero? Se lo mandé a mis sobrinos.

¿Quién te dio las maletas? Tú me las diste.

Answer 1

The first two questions should start with A.

The third - if you mean the bikes were bought for you and brother - should be "para ti y tu hermano". Using a would mean from you.

Thank you! Are the answers in the correct form? - aehodges, Aug 8, 2014

If you mean sentence structure, yes - 005faa61, Aug 8, 2014

I'm not sure if I agree with your last point JC, I think the 'a,' purely serves to introduce the indirect object so although para would work without the les + a combination I think using 'les + a' is fine too. - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 8, 2014

Answer 2

This ebook isn't exactly about double object pronouns but it might help you understand a little more how the 'a' works

Eg. Point No 7 in the book.

Answer 3

Yes, I agree with Kiwi about the last point (JulianChivi). It's correct to say "a ti y a tu hermano" since it's indirect object it can be introduced by "a". Even you can answer, "A nosotros nos las compraron nuestros padres" you can't say "para nosotros nos las compraron nuestros padres"

Hope this can help.
