I think this whole direct object and indirect object business is the most confusing thing I have run into while learning Spanish.
Also, I suppose that when using
con, you would never form a sentence where a person (or a personified object) would be the direct object. Am I right to think this?
Él abrazó a ella.
Ella is the direct object because she is receiving the action.
Él compró el coche con ella, o, Él lo compró con ella.
The car is the direct object now.
