Los o les?
Hola a todos. Necesito ayuda!
I was listening to SpanishPod and found a strange line: A: Hemos venido desde una galaxia lejana buscando a dos entes extraordinarios para aprender c´omo vive su especie. B: Los vamos a secuestrar. Why is it "los" (Objeto Directo) that used here and not "les" (Objeto Indirecto)? Because, as far as I understood, when we have such construct "some verb a someone", this "someone" should be OI. Gracias anticipadas! |

In sentence B, the verb "secuestrar" also requires an OD, and in this context that OD is still the extraordinary beings. |

Muchas gracias!
Are there some verbs in Spanish that always require OD, or it's just in this particular situation? If it is not inconvenient to you, could you please give me a link or suggest grammar book where I can find more advance info about OD and ID? |

There are many good grammars about Spanish that one can find. One of my favorites is "A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish", by John Butt and Carmen Benjamin; the 5th edition was published a few years ago. Other forum members may have other suggestions. |
