Of course that is wrong; it’s still the same person doing the same thing to the same object for the same person – so the ‘VERBY BIT’ doesn’t change. DON’T MESS WITH THE VERBY BIT!! All we are changing is what the verb is being done TO (the Direct Object) & who the verb is being done FOR (the Indirect Object). The Indirect Object pronoun (FOR) always goes before the Direct Object pronoun (TO), and it’s best to keep them together, too. (At least while you’re learning to use them!!) Remember – the Indirect Object, is WHO the action is being done FOR It is placed before the conjugated verb Juan buys the car for me - Juan me compra el coche And then to use them both at once, we put the Indirect Object pronoun first……………. Juan me lo compra.
