He's going to call his parents.  ->  He's going to call them.

In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them? 

Merci.

Je suppose qu'on peut dire "Elle est froid(e)" pour signifier "Elle n'est pas chaleureuse"?  Ai-je raison?  Si oui, est-ce que l'adjectif accord avec le sujet dans ce cas?

In another French course, some years ago, I was given the sentence :

"Ça fait trois ans que je l'ai, et je n'ai pour ainsi dire pas eu d'ennui avec."

This appears to end with a preposition.  Is it wrong?

I dont understand Ca t'a plu and how this is formed?

Like emouvant and paisable and se reconnaitre

My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière.   Should it not be accepted ? 

Ma Larousse dit que échelle est féminine.

In UK English this can also apply when someone agrees to come at a future time ("thanks for coming tomorrow") so it’s useful to remember you can’t do the same in French. Incidentally the only way I can fix "pour" and "de" in my brain is to think that you "pour" something concrete..

A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?

Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...
