I am saying... Put them to bed at 9:00.

Question

I don't know wether to use leurs or Les.

I have Mets-leur au lit a 9h00. Is it indirect or direct because if it is direct I think I would use Les but idk if it is.

Answer 1

Looks like Mme Sra is not online tonight. She will most probably give a detailed answer when she gets on.

To answer your question quickly, "mettre quelqu'un au lit" is transitive direct.

You could also say "coucher les enfants" to mean the same thing. It is also transitive direct.

Do not forget the accent in "à 9h".

Answer 2

For direct objects, you use "le/la/les", meaning "him/her/it/them", depending on the gender and number of the object you're replacing. This pronoun goes right before the conjugated verb in your sentence.
Ex: "Je le/la prends tous les jours." (I take it everyday)).
Ex: "Je les prends tous les jours." (I take them everyday).

For indirect objects, you use "lui", meaning "(to) him/her" or "leur" meaning "(to) them." These also go directly before the conjugated verb in your sentence.
Ex: "Je lui donnerai le livre demain." (I will give the book to him tomorrow).
Ex: "Je leur donnerai le livre demain." (I will give the book to them tomorrow).

Thus “Mets les au lit “(direct object)

Answer 3

I must say, that in affiramtive imperative sentences the object pronoun follows the verb.
"Mets les au lit à 9h."
