分析要點：
- use of ça
- use of tonic pronouns
- lack of indirect object pronoun
概念分析：
- use of ça
En plus de (preposition): in addition to
For preposition en plus de cannot be left as is at the end of the sentence. They must also not be dropped. The only option here is to keep the preposition, followed by the neutral pronoun ça in most cases. Ça is used as neutral stress pronoun of sorts and can replace a noun object or an infinitive clause object.
ça: le soigner et l'héberger
- use of tonic pronouns (or stressed pronouns)
A few verbs (e.g. parler à, penser à, faire confiance à, etc.) that require the preposition à before a human object cannot, however, take the indirect object pronoun. The tonic pronoun is used instead.
When using the stressed pronoun, you must retain the preposition in the sentence.
verb + à + tonic pronoun (for human object)
NOT > En plus de + tonic pronoun (eux)
- lack of indirect object pronoun
There is a double object construction in the second clause:
donner quelque chose à quelqu'un (to give someone something)
When there is à + human object, a human indirect object pronoun is required for replacement.
The word order would be as the following:
subject + indirect object pronoun (lui) + adverbial pronoun (en) + verb
= ils lui en ont donné
