pronouns

Gabriela quiere dárselo a María.

Gabriela wants to give it to Maria.

My Question is why do we need the selo after dar… Why no just darlo?

¡Hola de nuevo Ken3883!

This sentence is another example of a "redundant" object pronoun - that is, an object pronoun that is repeating information that is already contained elsewhere in the sentence. Since we already have a María “to Maria" in this sentence, we don't really need to include se “to her”; nonetheless, it's very common for native speakers to include redundant indirect object pronouns anyway and it will sound completely natural if you do so.

Note that the section I directed you to in your previous post (under the heading “To Whom? Adding Clarity to LE and LES” in Lesson 5.7 "'To Me' and ‘For Her’: Indirect Object Pronouns") also provides some information on the one instance where including seemingly redundant pronouns is actually required, so it is worth a look if you haven't seen it already!

I hope that this helps to clear everything up! If you still have any questions, just let us know!

Saludos,

Liss
