List of Verbs that Require a Redundant Indirect Pronoun
Consider these two phrases:
Le pedí a Juan que viniera. (correct) Pedí a Juan que viniera. (incorrect) As seen above, some verbs require the use of an indirect pronoun even when the indirect object is specified. I have seen this pronoun referred to as a redundant indirect pronoun. I would love to get my hands on an autoritative list of verbs that follow this pattern, i.e., that require the use of a redundant indirect pronoun. Perusing various incomplete resources on the topic, I have compiled a temporary list of my own (which I will share below), but I am neither sure that it is correct nor confident that it is complete. And if such a list does not exist...
