hey I have problems related to CD and CI.
1-can CI have other prepositions other than "a" or "para",or maybe no prepositions at all?
for example:
-Puse azúcar en tu café ( en )(tu cafe is CI but "en" is the preposition?)

what about CD when its a human like,it should always have "a"?

2-why sometimes there are 2 CI in the sentence,like:
Le compré un regalo a mi amiga.


3-when sometimes there's no CD but there is CI?

:)thanks!

A and para. Without preposition with pronouns:

Dámelo
Da: verb
me: IO
lo: DO

for example:
-Puse azúcar en tu café ( en )(tu cafe is CI but "en" is the preposition?)

what about CD when its a human like,it should always have "a"?

"Tu café" is CCL (complemento circunstancial de lugar - adverbial)

2-why sometimes there are 2 CI in the sentence,like:
Le compré un regalo a mi amiga.

Because duplication (there is only one IO, not two) of IO is common in Spanish.

3-when sometimes there's no CD but there is CI?

With intransitive verbs there is not DO, although there can be transitive verbs without DO in its superficial structure:

No me habla. Intransitive verb.
Dame. Transitive verb.
Cuéntame. Transitive v.

:)thanks!

You're welcome. :)

Thread title has been changed from "Complemento directo y indirecto" to "complemento directo e indirecto".
Conjunction "y" changes to "e", for reasons of euphony, when the next word starts with an "i". :)
