Spanish Indirect Object Pronouns: me, te, le, nos, os, les
Short answer
Indirect object pronouns say to whom or for whom something happens: me, te, le, nos, os, les. They stand before the conjugated verb, or attach to an infinitive or gerund. Le doy el libro — I give the book to him.

The rule in full
They mark to whom / for whom — usually a person.
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | me | nos |
| 2nd | te | os |
| 3rd | le | les |
- (A María) le doy el libro.
- ¿Me prestas un boli?
Spanish very often repeats the person with a + noun, even though the pronoun is already there — this is normal, not redundant:
- Le escribí a mi madre.
Note le/les say nothing about gender: le = to him, to her, to you (usted).
