"Then he showed it to his friends."

[kvargman]

So we have "Luego él se la mostró a sus amigos" and I learnt that "se" replaces "les" to avoid alitteration. But do I have to include it at all? I have already specified "a sus amigos".

Maybe you should ask that in the Spanish forum :)

(For what it's worth, I have no idea what the "se" is doing there, but I never got far in Spanish ;-) )
