Readers may be interested in information I put together a while ago on <a href="http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/technology/typing-accents.shtml" target="_blank">typing accents</a>. It's a bit Windows-focussed at the moment but it's a starting point.

Hi Jill<br />
<br />
If you want accents, and you are running Windows, I can supply the key-strokes.<br />

I know you already got an answer, but FYI (sorry, some words should have an accent but I don't know how to make them on this computer):<br></br>
<br></br>
a + 1 person is replaced by the pronoun lui<br></br>
<br></br>
ex: Je parle a Marc. Je lui parle.<br></br>
Je parle a Marie. Je lui parle.<br></br>
<br></br>
de + object(s) is replaced by the pronoun en<br></br>
<br></br>
ex. Je parle de l'ecole. J'en parle.<br></br>
J'achete des fleurs. J'en achete.<br></br>
Je veux du pain. J'en veux.<br></br>
Je veux de la soupe. J'en…

**The examples you gave in your exercise are SPECIAL because they are COMMANDS ("imperatives"). In negative commands, the object pronouns go in front of the verb as normal.<br/>
Ne lui en raconte pas.<br/>
But in POSITIVE commands, the object pronouns go AFTER the verb and are connected with hyphens.<br/>
Prete-le-lui.<br/>
Achete-lui-en.<br/>
<br/>
When you have TWO object pronouns (like your exercises), there is a specific order depending on the combination of pronouns used. I bet there's a chart in your textbook somewhere!

Yes that that is the goal of the exercise. I guess if I replace both sets of underlined words with pronouns it would be - "Prete-le a-il" - / Lend it to him ?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.

I don't know if i understand correctly : do you have to replace the name of the underlined words with pronouns ? If so, i try :<br/>
<br/>
Prête ton crayon à Paul /Lend your pen to Paul<br/>
Prête-le à Paul / Lend it to Paul<br/>
Prête-lui ton crayon / Lend your pencil to him (lend him your pencil ? not sure)
