  1. Quick Review of Direct Object pronouns

  2. The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question “who” or what. • In the sentence “John hits the ball”, ball is the direct object. (What does John hit? : the ball)

  3. If the direct object begins with el, replace it with lo. Ex. ¿Limpiaste el cuarto de baño? Ya lo limpié. • If the direct object begins with la, replace it with la. Ex. ¿Tendiste la cama? Ya la tendí.

  4. If the direct object begins with las, replace it with las. • Ex. ¿ Quitaste las mesas? Ya las quité. • If the direct object begins with los, replace it with los. • Ex. ¿ Lavaste los platos? • Ya los lavé.

  5. The direct object pronoun can be placed in two places: • 1) before a conjugated verb • 2) after an infinitive • Ex. Of 2) • ¿Vas a limpiar el baño? • Sí, voy a limpiarlo. • Notice the infinitive and the pronoun form one word.
