  1. A Lesson in Direct Object Pronouns Brought to you by Katrina and Alyssa Sponsored in Part by Quatrain & Lays (We know it sounds boring, but please try to keep the snoring and drooling to a minimum)

  2. Direct Objects: An Overview • The direct object is the object that directly receives the action of the verb. • For example: Pierre usa el teléfono público. • “teléfono público” received the action of the verb “usa”. • The direct object could also be a person. • For example: Ian llama a Todd. • “Todd” received the action of “llama”

  3. Direct Objects: Continued • Direct objects answer the questions “What?” or “Who?” in relation to the sentence. • Ian llama who? a Todd Ian llama a Todd con el teléfono celular. • Alex usa el ratón de la computadora. Alex usa what? el ratón

  4. Direct Objects:Continued Again • Usually, it is convenient to replace the name of the direct object with a pronoun. • Yo meto un CD en la ranura de la computadora. • Lo meto en la ranura de la computadora.

  5. Direct Object Chart

  6. How To Replace • Using the chart, you can replace the direct object with the pronoun • In an affirmative statement with one verb, the pronoun goes right before the verb. (Uso el ratón = Lo uso.) • Remember, if the direct object changes plurality, then the pronoun must change. • David necesita el fax = David lo necesita. • Nosotros entramos los datos = Nosotros los entramos.
