Place it immediately before the conjugated verb. 2. Attach it directly to the infinitive.
Indirect object pronouns • The indirect object (IO) tells us where the direct object (DO) is going. • The indirect object answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?" the action of the verb is performed. • Sentences that have an indirect object usually also have a direct object.

Indirect object pronouns • When a pronoun takes the place of the name of the indirect object, use the following pronouns: The IO pronouns le and les present a special problem because they are ambiguous.
