Using Direct Object Pronouns and Indirect Object Pronouns

Question

I am trying to say: "The doctor prescribed pills to me."

Can I say: "El médico me recetó los pastillas."

It doesn't seem like I am using a direct and indirect object pronoun, so I am a little confused.

Thank you for help in advance!

Answer 1

Only one slight mistake-it is "Las Pastillas" and not "Los Pastillas", other than that the sentence makes perfect sense

You are using an indirect object pronoun -- me

The doctor prescribed the pills **TO ME ** The pills are the direct object (What the doctor is prescribing) and you are the indirect object (Who is being prescribed)

e.g - the doctor prescribed pills to him - El médico le recetó las pastillas

Hope that makes sense

Thank you! That was very helpful! :) - elmw, Mar 9, 2017
