What are the possibilities for INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS Dealing with people in French? LUI or LEUR

I give the road map to Suzanne. Je donne la carte routiere à Suzanne. Now replace à Suzanne with an indirect object pronoun for people Which pronoun would you use? LUI --à + a person Use LEUR for à + people It is really that simple! Je lui donne la carte routiere.

That was easy, nest-ce pas? Lets make it harder. Write: I give the road map to Suzanne. Replace ROAD MAP with a direct object pronoun Replace TO SUZANNE with an indirect object pronoun for people Je la lui donne.

La= la carte routiere Lui= à Suzanne In French both Direct and Indirect object pronouns come Before the verb, or the helper verb, or the infinitive.
