The Use of Le/les
The pronouns le (singular) and les (plural) are used to replace the indirect object of a sentence. In some dialects, le can be used for the plural, too. As an exception, when the direct object is also replaced by a pronoun (lo/los, la/las) the indirect object is replaced by the pronoun se, in both singular and plural.
- Le di el libro. = "I gave the book to her/him."
- Se lo di. = "I gave it to her/him/them."
