Remember that words like le, la, les, lui, leur, me, te come before the verb. Sometimes you’ll use not only one, but two of these words!
| Je lui donne le livre. I give her the book. |
Je le lui donne. I give it to her. |
|---|---|
| Je leur donne la pomme. I give them the apple. |
Je la leur donne. I give it to them. |
| Je leur donne les livres. I give them the books. |
Je les leur donne. I give them to them. |
Note that lui, leur are placed after le, la, les.
But when we use me, te, nous, vous, these words come before le, la, les.
Je te le donne.
I give it to you.
Ils vous les offrent.
They offer them to you.
Vous me les prêtez.
You lend them to me.
