Pronombres de objeto indirecto

El objeto indirecto

Many verbs with a direct object have a complement that indicates for whom the action
is performed or who benefits from it. This complement is the indirect object (IO).
The indirect object can be a noun with the preposition a (a Juan) or a pronoun (nos).
Ana compra una camisa a Juan.

DO

El chef nos prepara la comida.

Sometimes for emphasis or for clarification, we use two indirect objects in the same
sentencean expression with the preposition a (a m, a Carlos) and the pronoun.
