- Indirect object pronouns can be used to replace indirect object nouns to reduce repetition. It would be like saying "to/for me/you/him/her/us/them" in English. In Spanish they must agree with the noun they are replacing.
- After replacing the indirect object noun with a pronoun, be sure to place it before the conjugated verb. Here is the conversation all together.
- Indirect objects receive the direct object, or answer the question "to whom" or "for whom" the action of the verb is performed (asked after the direct object).
