Indirect object pronouns
Keep in mind that an indirect object tells to whom or for whom an action is performed. Indirect pronouns are used to replace a direct object noun. The indirect object pronouns are: for singular, you do me for me, te for you, le for him/her/you, Plural object pronouns are: nos for us, and les for them or you. since le and les have nore than one meaning you can make the meaning clearer by adding a+ a name+ a pronoun. Indirect pronouns are placed bofore the verb or are attached to the infinitive; just like direct object pronouns and reflexive pronouns.
