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... Thanks in advance for making suggestions to edit the list below -- let's call it a work in progress
