  1. Direct Objects • … are the person or thing that receives the action of the verb. • … answer the questions “What” and “Whom” after an action verb. • … have direct object pronouns (DOPs) that replace direct objects in a sentence. • In Spanish, when the direct object is a person or a pet, a personal “A” must be used. AMV@MVHS

  2. ME TE LO,LA NOS OS LOS,LAS In Spanish there are 8 DOPs: Note how third person agrees in gender with the object they represent.

  3. To form a sentence using a DOP… • Ask yourself “who” or “what” the verb affects. That is the DIRECT OBJECT. • Change the direct object to a direct object pronoun (DOP). • Rewrite the sentence using the DOP instead of the direct object.

  4. Once you figure out the correct direct object pronoun, you need to be able to rewrite the sentence putting the DOP in the correct location. There are four rules in regards to placement of DOPs in the sentence.

  5. Place directly the CONJUGATED VERB. BEFORE LA Tengo ahora. mi tarea _____ tengo ahora. LA Object Pronoun Conjugated Verb

  6. to an INFINITIVE. ATTACH LOS Queremos levantar temprano. a ellos Queremos levantar____ temprano. LOS Infinitive Object Pronoun “Levantarlos” is ONE WORD.

  7. since there is also a CONJUGATED VERB in the sentence, the direct object pronoun can still go BEFORE the conjugated verb. BUT… Queremos levantar_____ temprano. LOS LOS _____ queremos levantar temprano. Infinitive Object Pronoun Object Pronoun Conjugated Verb

  8. to a PARTICIPLE (-ANDO/-IENDO). ATTACH LO Susi y Mari están escribiendo ahora. el cheque Susi y Mari están ___ ahora. escribiendo escribiéndo LO Participle Object Pronoun When you attach to the end of the participle, you add a syllable to the word, which messes with the natural stress. HOWEVER… The participle will need a written accent over the “A” in –ANDO or the “E” in –IENDO. THEREFORE…

  9. since there is also a CONJUGATED VERB in the sentence, the direct object pronoun can still go BEFORE the conjugated verb. BUT… Susi y Mari están escribiéndo___ ahora. LO Participle Object Pronoun Susi y Mari ___ están escribiendo ahora. LO Object Pronoun Conjugated Verb

  10. an affirmative command. ATTACH LOS Lava ahora. los platos Lava____ ahora. LOS Command Object Pronoun

  11. Lava__ Láva__ LOS When the command is more than one syllable AND you attach to the end of the participle, you add a syllable to the word, which messes with the natural stress. HOWEVER… The command will need a written accent. THEREFORE… Count back 3 vowels from the end (including the direct object pronoun) and you will be over the right letter MOST OF THE TIME. EXCEPTIONS INCLUDE: ESTUDIAR AND LIMPIAR.

  12. ALWAYS place directly a NEGATIVE COMMAND. BEFORE LA No compres . esa blusa No _____ compres. LA Object Pronoun Negative Command

  13. Indirect Objects are another object but are completely different than directs.

  14. Indirect Objects • … indicate who benefits from the action performed. • … answer the questions “To whom” and “For whom” after an action verb. • … have indirect object pronouns (IOPs) that replace indirect objects in a sentence.

  15. ME TE LE NOS OS LES In Spanish there are 6 IOPs With third person “LE” and “LES”, using an “A” phrase is helpful.

  16. To form a sentence using a IOP… • Ask yourself “to whom” or “for whom” the action is performed. That is the INDIRECT OBJECT. • Change the indirect object to a indirect object pronoun (IOP). • Rewrite the sentence using the IOP instead of the indirect object.

  17. The placement rules are the same. • Place BEFORE a conjugated verb. • ATTACH to the end of an infinitive. • ATTACH to the end of a present participle (and add an accent). • Always ATTACH to an affirmative command. • Always place BEFORE a negative command.

  18. When you use a DOP and an IOP in the same sentence, you need to remember TWO things: • The IOP goes before the DOP. • You can’t have two “L” object pronouns together.

  19. 1) IOP before DOP I give the book to you. What is the DO? What is the IO? LO TE Change the objects to object pronouns. Doy el libro a ti. Rewrite the sentence. TE LO doy. IOP DOP

  20. 1) IOP before DOP Ella melas compra. She buys themfor me. Tú noslos lees. You read themto us.

  21. 2) No double “L” – change IOP to “SE” I give the book to Lola. What is the DO? What is the IO? LO LE Change the objects to object pronouns. Doy el libro a Lola. NO DOUBLE “L” SE IS OK! Rewrite the sentence. LE SE LO doy. IOP DOP

  22. 2) No double “L” – change IOP to “se” LAS LES SE Uds. compra las blusapara ellos. Uds. selas compra. Nosotros leemos los poemasa ella. Nosotros selos leemos. LOS SE LE

  23. When you attach double object pronouns to an INFINITIVE, a PARTICIPLE or a COMMAND, you must add an accent to bring the word back to how it was originally pronounced.

  24. No puedo dartelas. dártelas. Puedes prestarselos. prestárselos. Estoy comprándoselo. comprandoselo.

  25. ¡Cantamos!To the tune of “Do your ears hang low?” Oh, you can’t LE LO Because it’s bad grammar, you know You can use the other pairs Except for two “Ls” in a row There’s a way to save the day LE and LES get changed to SE Because you can SE LO
