¿Se lo explicas? (Can you explain it to him?) Sentences with two object pronouns.

Reminder: indirect object pronouns replace a person, thing or animal, to avoid repetition.

Nacho pide un taxi a Ana → Nacho le pide un taxi.

Nacho orders a taxi for Ana → Nacho orders her a taxi.

When a sentence has both a direct object (DO) and an indirect object (IO) pronoun, the indirect one goes before the direct one.

Ana te (CI) da las llaves (CD) → Ana te las da.

Ana gives you (IO) the keys (DO) → Ana gives them to you, Ana gives you them.

¿Me (CI) pasas el azúcar (CD)? → ¿Me lo pasas?

Can you pass me (IO) the sugar (DO)? → Can you pass it to me?

The indirect object pronouns le and les change to se when they go before a 3rd person direct object pronoun (lo, la, los, las).

Le compré unos zapatos → Se los compré.

I bought him some shoes → I bought them for him, I bought him them

Entrégale el dinero → Entrégaselo.
