    A: ¿Con qué frequencia te prepara la cena tu madre?

    B: Ella me la prepara dos veces por semana.

    Thinking about the grammar

    Note that when using both indirect and direct object pronouns, the indirect comes first. You can put the subject first, but you don´t have to have it. Then comes the indirect object pronoun, the direct object pronoun, and the verb. You may put the answer first or last. The order that is important is that of indirect object pronoun / direct object pronoun / verb.

    A: ¿Con qué frecuencia les preparas comida a tus amigos?

    B: Les Se la preparo a veces.

    Thinking about the grammar

    Note that if both object pronouns begin with the letter ¨l,¨ the first one must be changed to ¨se.¨

    A: ¿Con qué frecuencia les preparas preparas comida a tus amigos?

    B: Se la preparo a veces.

    A: ¿Con qué frecuencia te preparan tus amigos comida?

    B: Me la preparan de vez en cuando.
