Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.

why is it 'elle faisait son jogging' and not 'elle faisait DU jogging' ?
"La fois dernière" = Noun
"La dernière fois" = Adverb & noun
I got a question wrong, looked at this lesson again and got confused by the whole "followed by a clause" thing (tricky to remember) and I thought that maybe this would be a easier way for me to remember it but I don't want to be lead down the wrong track.
