  1. Direct Object Pronouns

  2. Direct Object Pronouns The direct object in a sentence receives that action of the verb. They answer “Whom?” or “What?” about the verb. Nouns used as direct objects can be replaced by pronouns: • In English: Do you have the book? Yes, I have it.  Direct object pronoun replaces book

  3. In Spanish, the direct object noun is placed AFTER the conjugated verb: • ¿Tienes el libro? Do you have the book? (libro comes after tienes) • The direct object pronoun is placed directly BEFORE the conjugated verb: • Sí, lo tengo. Yes, I have it. (“lo” replaces “el libro” as “it” and comes before “tengo.”)

  4. Try these! • ¿Comes un sándwich? Sí, __________________________ • ¿Llevas la falda nueva? Sí, ________________________________ • ¿Haces la tarea? No, no _______________________________

  5. Try these! • ¿Comes un sándwich? Sí, _lo como_ • ¿Llevas la falda nueva? Sí, _la llevo___ • ¿Haces la tarea? No, no __lo hago__

  6. When an infinitive (not conjugated) follows the conjugated verb, you can place the direct object pronoun either: BEFORE the conjugated verb: Quiero comprar la torta = La quiero comprar. OR ATTACHED to the infinitive: Quiero comprar la torta = Quiero comprarla.

  7. Ex: Quiero sacar las fotos. Las quiero sacar OR Quiero sacarlas. SAME THING  • You can also use personal pronouns for people: They buy a soda for me. Me compran un refresco. • I am looking for you. Te estoy buscando.

  8. Try These! • Quiero tomar un refresco. ______________________________________ OR _______________________________________

  9. Try These! • Quiero tomar un refresco. • Lo quiero tomar OR Quiero tomarlo

  10. Try These! Puedo hacer la tarea. ______________________________________ OR _______________________________________

  11. Try These! Puedo hacer la tarea. Lo puedo hacer OR Puedo hacerlo

  12. Quiero comprar unos zapatos. ___________________________________ OR _____________________________________

  13. Quiero comprar unos zapatos. Los quiero comprar OR Quiero comprarlos.

  14. Try These! For the following questions, say what each person buys. Ex: Roberto: la pluma = Roberto la compra. • Diana: los patines _______________ • Nacho: la raqueta _______________ • Patricio: las gorras _______________

  15. If you want to use a person as a direct object, you still use the same pronouns: Diana me conoce = Diana knows me. Remember the personal A? The person receives the action. I see you: YOU receive the action. Te veo.

  16. Try these! • I invite you. ___________________ • Juanito speaks to us. ___________________________ 3. Your father sees you. ______________________________ 4. Your friends don’t know me! _______________________________
