Example 6: Je LEUR lis une histoire...
Does this mean "lire" is a verb for which "à" is commonly applied? Or is it in this case that the full sentence would be "Je lis une histoire à mes enfants", and hence the usage of "leur" is warranted?
This question relates to:French lesson "Replacing people with lui, leur = him, her, them (indirect object pronouns)"

Bonjour Prashanth !
It's the second case: the structure is "lire à ".
À bientôt !

Hi Aurélie,
I know this is an old question but I would like to get some clarification. Based on your response to Prashanth's question does that mean the proper way to say "I read them a story" is "Je les lis une histoire." ?
Thanks,
Alvin
