Is les the correct pronoun for the indirect object in this sentence? "Y su madre siempre ayuda a los muchachos del colegio. Para esta fiesta les enseñó a Josefina y a Pablo a preparar su pollo especial"

It does look like you did make your own attempt, you chose les. And yes, les would seem to me to be the correct redundant indirect object pronoun for "A Josefina y a Pablo".

He did not make an attempt....he asked if "les" was correct, thus my answer below. - rac1, Jul 26, 2015
I am sorry, I do not understand how asking if the single answer I am trying is not making an attempt. Les was their attempt and was correct. I think I just really do not get this site. How on earth could they make more of an attempt than providing - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2015
The correct answer? - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2015
Ok...that's fine. No need to get upset. - rac1, Jul 26, 2015
I am not upset, I just try to follow the rules, but this really did seem like a clear case of one that was fair to answer- they just wanted confirmation of a correct answer. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2015
