I am learning about direct and indirect pronouns in Italian...My text states - Imagine Dario is the object of the following verbs. Decide whether a direct object pronoun lo or an indirect object pronoun gli would be appropriate. Use the io form of the verb: Examples provided are aiutare - io lo aiuto and dare una mano - io gli do una mano.
I have many to complete but two of them are:
1) vedere in piazza ...............................................
2) spiegare le regole ...........................................
Can anyone clearly explain indirect and direct object pronouns to me PLEASE??? I would really appreciate someone's help!

1) Io lo vedo in piazza
2) Io gli spiego le regole
Which are:
1) I see him in the square
2) I explain the rules to him
The first is direct in english like in italian: you see SOMEBODY.
The second is indirect in both languages too: you explain something TO someone.
Keep studying... and asking!

lo vedo in piazza
gli spiego le regole
indirect pronouns are somehow composed: gli = a lui, mi= a me, vi= a voi, etc...
you can also say spiego le regole a lui, but it is not really correct.
just as you could say vedo lui in piazza, but then you wouldnt be using the pronoun.
i hope this helps....
