  1. Direct Object Pronouns

  2. Direct object pronouns • A direct object tells who or what receives the action of the verb. Devolví el libro. I returned the book. (book is the direct object) • To avoid repeating a direct object noun, you can replace it with a direct object pronoun. In English, him, her, and it are examples of direct object pronouns. You have already used the following direct object pronouns in Spanish:

  3. Singular Lo it, him, you (masculine formal) La it, her, you (feminine formal) Plural Los them, you (masculine) Las them, you (feminine) Direct object pronouns

  4. Direct object pronouns • Direct object pronouns have the same gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) as the nouns they replace. They come right before the conjugated verb. ¿Devolviste los libros a la biblioteca? No, no los devolví. ¿Ayudaste a tu mamá en casa? Sí, la ayudé.

  5. Direct object pronouns • When an infinitive follows a verb, the direct object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive. ¿Sacaste el libro sobre Simón Bolivar? No, no lo pude sacar. O: No, no pude sacarlo.
