Encore une question, s'il vous plait:
"Nous demandons à Marie et Annette."
nous leur demandons (right?)
BUT- had there not been a prior mentioning about having asked (to) Marie and Annette and we would just have said: "we ask them", then would it have been correct to say:"nous LES demandons"?????(Or would it still need to be "nous leur demandons"?)
Thank you!
I think that perhaps it would be great if I could take a look at the review sheets that you mentioned, if it is not too much trouble.
Thank you for all your help!

With demander it's to ask something (direct object) OF someone (indirect-object pronoun. Nous leur demandons. (demander à quelqu'un de faire quelque chose)
Hopefully I can post the reviews here because I'd hate to type them over!
In French the Direct-Object Pronouns are: me, (m') = me
te, (t') = you (fam. sing)
le, (l') = him, it
la (l') = her, it
se (s') = himself, herself, itself
nous = us
vous = you
les = them (people or things)
se (s') = themselves
Indirect-Object Pronouns are:
me, (m') = (to, for, at, from) me
te, (t') = (to, for, at, from) you
lui = (to, for, at, from) him,her
se (s') = (to, for, at, from) him, her
nous = (to, for, at, from) us
vous = (to, for, at, from) you
leur = (to, for, at, from) them
se (s') = (to, for, at, from) themselves
The words "to, at, for, from" are either stated or understood.
Personal object pronouns, direct and/or indirect, are placed immediately before the verb of which they are the object, except in affirmative commands.)
Je vous comprends = I understand you.
Lui a-t-il téléphoné? = Did he telephone her/him?
Elle ne se lève pas tard = She does not get up late.
Vous devez le lire. = You must read it.
NOTE: Voici and voilà take a direct-object pronoun.
Nous voici. La voilà. = Here we are. There she is.
In the affirmative imperative only, the object pronoun is placed directly after the verb and linked to it by a hyphen. The pronouns me and te change to moi and toi after the verb.
Well, that will get you started. Let me kow if you need the Affirmative Imperative, Negative Imperative, special verbs, the pronouns "y" and "en" and Double-Object Pronouns.
