  1. Topics: Direct and indirect objects Essential ?s: How do I say ‘it’ and ‘them’ in Spanish, and how do I refer to people who get things?

  2. Subjects vs. Objects • In English and Spanish, there are terms called “subject” and “object”. • They are nouns that deal with the relationship to the sentence’s verb. • The subject DOES the action. (I eat fruit – ‘I’ is the subject) • The object RECEIVES the action. (I eat fruit – ‘fruit’ is the object.)

  3. Direct vs. Indirect Objects • There are multiple “objects” in language. • Direct objects • Indirect objects • Direct objects have the verb happen to them • I read the book. (The book is read.) • You see me. (‘me’ is seen) • Indirect objects get the THING that gets the action. • I speak Spanish to the students. (The students receive the Spanish that is spoken.) • My dad gave me a book. (I got the book that was given.)

  4. Pausa… • Tell your pareja 3 things you understood • Write 3 questions in your notes and mark the answers that are in your notes. If they aren’t there, ADD THEM!

  5. Subject pronouns in both languages • You know these in both languages – remember, these are the pronouns that DO the actions. • I = yo • You = tú/Ud. • He = él • She = ella • We = nosotros • They = ellos/ellas • You all = Uds.

  6. Me, te, nos • You have already learned me, te and nos • They are the words in Spanish for both the direct and indirect object pronouns • Me = me (direct object pronoun – He knows me.), to me (indirect object pronoun – He gives a book to me.) • Te = you (direct object pronoun – I see you), to you (indirect object pronoun – I speak Spanish to you) • Nos = us (direct object pronoun – He knows us.), to us (indirect object – My dad gave a book to us.)

  7. Lo, la, los, las • The most common direct object pronouns in English are ‘it’ and ‘them’. It also means ‘him’ and ‘her’ if they are the direct object of the sentence. • This is not the English ‘it’ that starts a sentence. (It is hot. – Hacecalor.) This ‘it’ is what is done. (Do you have the ball? Yes, I have it. • They are used based on gender and go before the conjugated verb. • Tengo el libro. = Lo tengo. • Tengo la pelota. = La tengo. • Leo los libros. = Los leo. • Como las bananas. = Las como.

  8. When NOT to use lo, la, los, las • Don’t use lo, la, los, las with • Ser • It is big = Esgrande. • Estar (unless it is with –ando/-iendo) • It is at home. = Está en casa. • Gustar • I like it. = Me gusta.

  9. Pausa… • Share 5 things that you understood to your pareja. • Write 4 questions and mark the answers (or add them).

  10. Try it…write in Spanish • Who has my book? Bob has it. • When did you see the movie? I saw it yesterday. • Who knows the teachers? We all know them. • Is Karla here? Yes, I see her.

We all know them. • ¿Quiénconoce a los profesores? Todosnosotroslosconocemos. • Is Karla here? Yes, I see her. • ¿Está Karla aquí? ¡Sí! Laveo.

  12. Le and Les • These are indirect object pronouns. • Le = ‘him/to him’ and ‘her/to her’ • Les ‘them/to them’ or ‘you all/to you all’ • You only use them IF someone is getting a thing -- like if I give a book to you, or if someone tells something to someone. • Used with verbs like dar, hablar, decir, presentar, escribir, llevarand traer. • They go before the conjugated verb.

  13. Le and Les • My kids hear Spanish at home. I speak Spanish to them. / Mishijosescuchanespañol en casa. Leshabloespañol. • What did your mom receive for her birthday?
