Could I add to haber le avisado: a ella?
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Spanish modal verb deber in the conditional simple + haber + participle = should have "
Asked 5 years ago
Hola Emanuel
There is a typo in this sentence, actually. The "le" should say "la" as "avisar [a alguien] is a transitive verb and "la" is a direct object pronoun. You can repeat the direct object saying:
Deberías haberla avisado a ella.
The repetition of the object is simply there simply for emphasis or clarification. You could also omit it and just say:
Deberías haberla avisado.
La deberías haber avisado.
If the translation was "You should have warned him (not her)", then you'd need direct object pronoun "lo":
Deberías haberlo avisado.
Lo deberías haber avisado.
Deberías haberlo avisado a él.
I hope this helps
Saludos
