Te las traigo para tí

Question

Why not use "te" as the indirect object?

Hola LindaThat sentence you wrote, "Te las traigo para ti." is using correctly "te" as an indirect object pronoun "I brought you..." I'm not sure what your doubt is as this sentence is not in this lesson connected to your comment. That lesson is about direct object pronouns lo, la, los, las, but not indirect object pronouns.Saludos

This refers to one of the questions in the quiz. I also wrote “te las” traigo para ti. This answer was marked as incorrect, with correct answer being “las” traigo para ti. So, I was also confused. Thanks for answering.

Hola Devin (and Linda)

Sorry, yes, I see what you mean now. Yes, you can add the indirect object pronoun "te" to reinforce the person the flowers are for. You don't really need it because it's enough with the "para ti" at the end but you can repeat with "te".

It comes up as incorrect because we weren't considering the answer including both the indirect and the direct object pronoun, just the direct pronoun, but I just added it.

Gracias y saludos
