  1. Indirect Objects and Indirect object pronouns

  2. What is an Indirect object? • The indirect object answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?" the action of the verb is performed.

  3. Por Ejemplo… • Juan gives the book to María.Juan (who is doing the action) – subject • Gives (what is Juan doing?) - verb • Book (what does he give?)- Direct object • María (to whom does he give the book?) – Indirect object

  4. Sentences that have an indirect object usually also have a direct object. Remember, the indirect object tells us where the direct object is going.

  5. What is an Indirect Object Pronoun? • The Indirect Object Pronoun is the pronoun that substitutes for the indirect object.

  6. In English English – John throws the ball to Enrique. John throws the ball to him. Him is the indirect object pronoun substituting the indirect object.

  7. The following are the indirect object pronouns • Me – to me/for me nos – to us/for us • Te – to you/for you os – to y’all/for y’all • Le – to him/for him les – to you/for you to her/for her to them/for them to you/for you

  8. Please note that the indirect objects can only be people – never things

  9. Where do indirect object pronouns go? • Just like the direct object pronouns, the indirect object pronouns go before the conjugated verb. • Juan tiró la pelota a Enrique. • Juan le tiró la pelota.

  10. Vamos a practicar….substitute the indirect object pronoun (iop) for the indirect object. • Mi esposo hizo café para mí. • Yo compré las flores para mi mamá. • Yo di los libros a los estudiantes.

  11. Las Respuestas • Mi esposo me hizo café. • Yo le compré las flores (para mi mamá). • Yo les di los libros (a los estudiantes).

  12. Since le and les can mean more than one thing, a prepositional phrase is often added to remove the ambiguity. • Yo le compré las flores (para mi mamá). • Yo les di los libros (a los estudiantes).

  13. In addition…. Adding the prepositional phrase can also emphasize the indirect object.

  14. What happens if you have both a direct object pronoun and an indirect object pronoun in the same sentence??????

  15. Listen carefully • It must go in this order…. • Subject • Indirect object pronoun • Direct object pronoun • Verb

  16. Por ejemplo… • I made cookies for you. • I made you them. • Yo hizo galletas para ti. • Yo te las hizo.

  17. But…. • If the direct object pronoun and the indirect object pronoun both begin with the letter “L”, then the indirect object pronoun changes to “SE”. • Otherwise it is hard to say….

  18. ¡Ten Cuidado! • I made salad for them. • Yo hizo la ensalada para ellos. • Yo les la hizo. • Yo se la hizo.

  19. QUIZ…. • Mi hermana limpia la casa para mí. Mi hermana _____ limpia la casa. • Yo enviaré una carta a ti. Yo ______ enviaré una carta. • Ellos hicieron las reservaciones para nosotros. Ellos _____ hicieron las reservaciones.
