Il elle envoie deux milliers de roses
Shouldn't 'elle' be used instead of 'lui' for 'He sends her' in the above example?
This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French"

Bonjour Terry,
Elle is a subject pronoun, as in Elle est intelligente, or a stress pronoun, as in C'est pour elle.
In the sentence "He's sending her roses," her is an indirect object pronoun, and the third person singular indirect object pronoun - whether masculine or feminine - is lui. See our lesson: Using lui/leur = him or her/them (French Indirect Object Pronouns)
