Replace the direct and indirect
objects with pronouns.

I sent them to her.
1. We showed Lisa the movie.
We showed it to her.
2. My sister loaned the car to Phil and me.
My sister loaned it to us.
3. They passed the notes to Mr. Jackson.
They passed them to him.
The reason why the indirect object pronouns are fed to the students is because I think that it’s important to point out that in English we use the same pronouns for direct objects as indirect objects unlike a number of other languages.
