Direct objects answer the questions "to/for Whom?". Example: Ella dio la carta a Pedro ( She gave the letter to Pedro ) 1) Ella le dio la carta. ( "le" (I.O.P) substitutes "a Pedro" ) 2) "la carta" is the D.O. It would be substituted by "la". 3) BUT you can't put in a row two pronouns that start with "L". You then substitute "le" for "se". The final sentence is: Ella se la dio. | Personal Pronouns
