When do you use lui/leur?

Lui and Leur are indirect object prounouns and in English they mean 'to him', 'to her' and 'to them'. They are placed before the verb. Lui is singular and replaces both masculine and feminine nouns whereas leur again replaces masculine and feminine nouns but in the plural form. They are commonly used after parler, demander, dire and donner.
