  1. El complemento directo:los pronombes Direct Object Pronouns

  2. To make a sentence shorter in any language, nouns (objects) are replaced by pronouns. For example: I am visiting the museum. I am visiting it. “Museum” is a direct object as it is directly receiving the action in the sentence. The word it in this sentence is a directobject pronoun.

  3. In Spanish, the same thing occurs: Visito el museo.Lo visito. The word lo is a direct object pronoun in Spanish. In Spanish there are direct object pronouns to represent people and/or things.

  4. Noun Receiving Action Direct Object Pronoun English Translation yo me me tú te you (familiar) él, ud. lo him, you (male-formal) it (masculine things) ella, ud. la her, you (female-formal) it (feminine thing) nosotros(as) nos us vosotros(as) os you (plural-familiar) ellos, uds. los them, you (plural-formal) them (masculine things) ellas, uds. las them, you (plural-all female) them (feminine things) The Direct Object Pronouns

  5. In Spanish, the object pronoun can always be placed in the sentence immediately before the first verb that it refers to. Yo la veo a las dos. I see her (it) at two o’clock. Ella me ayuda mucho. She helps me a lot. Te quiero invitar. I want to invite you. Juan nunca nos llama. Juan never calls us.

  6. When there is a verb infinitive or an -ing form (-ndo)in a sentence, the pronoun can be attached to the end of it: Voy a comprar un libro. Voy a comprarlo. Está mirando a la chica. Está mirándola. However, the first rule of pronoun placement can still be applied: Voy a comprar un libro. Lo voy a comprar Está mirando a la chica. La está mirándo. Either way is correct.

  7. Some other examples • El profesor nos trae a un restaurante. The teacher brings us to a restaurant. • ¿Chicharrones? Juan los compra en Guadalajara. Pork rinds?Juan buys them in Guadalajara. • ¿Te llamó Gabriela? Did Gabriela call you? • ¿Tienes mi bolígrafo? Do you have my pen? Sílo tengo. Yes, I have it.
