Los objetosdirectos Direct object pronouns
A direct object tells who or what receives the action of the verb. - Devolvíel libro. (I returned the book, and BOOK is the direct object.) To avoid repeating the noun LIBRO, you can replace it with a Direct Object Pronoun (DOP). In English, HIM, HER, and IT are examples of DOPs.
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 losdevolví. • ¿Ayudaste a tumamá en casa? • Sí, laayudé.
When an infinitive follows a verb, the direct object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive. • ¿Sacasteel librosobreSimón Bolívar? • No, no lopudesacar. OR - No, no pudesacarlo.
Práctica Rewrite the sentences using a DOP. • Yocierro la puerta. ____________________ • Ellosabren los libros. __________________ • No conozco a Eduardo. _________________ • Aprendo los verbos. ___________________ • Ella prepara el café. ____________________ • Recibocartas. ________________________ • Miguel dice laspalabras. ________________
Remember the subject and verb ending tell who is doing the action and the DOP tells who is receiving the action. • ¿Meayudas, por favor? • Can you help me, please?
Remember also, DOPs come before the conjugated verb. But, when there is more than one verb, you can either 1) put the DOP before both verbs or 2) attach the DOP to the infinitive. • Losquierollevar al zoológicoeste fin de semana. • Quierollevarlos al zoológicoeste fin de semana. • I want to take them to the zoo this weekend.
Práctica • ¿Quiénva a sacar la basura? (Yo) • ¿Quiénva a limpiar el baño? (Tomás y Eva) • ¿Quiénva a barrer el piso? (Germán) • ¿Quiénva a poner la mesa? (Tú) • ¿Quiénva a tender las camas? (José y yo)
With commands • When you are using a DOP with a positive command, attach the DOP to the end. BUT, you have to add an accent- count back 3 vowels. • ¡Hagala tarea! ¡Hágala! (usted command) • ¡Come lasverduras! ¡Cómelas! (tú command) • ¡Lean el libro! ¡Léanlo! (ustedes command)
Práctica • Close it (the window)! • Open it (the door)! • Cut it (the grass)! • Wash them (the dishes)!
With negative commands • When using a DOP with a negative command, the DOP has to go BEFORE the command and there is no accent added. • ¡No lohagas! Don’t do it! • ¡No telapongas! Don’t put it on (the jacket)!
