Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns
Direct Object Pronouns
DOPs are used to replace nouns to avoid repetition.
You can replace a noun when it receives the direct action of the verb.
DOPs go directly in front of the verb.
They answer the question:Who/what + is/are + past of verb?
Direct Object Pronouns
Ella compra la camisa.
1. Who/what is bought?
2. The shirt.
3. DOP: la
Ella la compra.
DOP
me (me) nos (us)
te (you) os (you all)
lo/la (him, los/las (them)
her, it)
DOP examples
¿A quiénes viste? Whom did you see?
Vi a los niños. I saw the children
Los vi. I saw them.
¿Qué escribiste? What did you write?
Escribí la carta? I wrote the letter.
La escribí. I wrote it.
Indirect Object Pronouns
IOPs are used to replace nouns to avoid repetition.
You can replace an noun with an IOP when something is said or done to or for someone (and
sometimes to/for something).
Indirect Object Pronouns
They answer the question:
To/For + who/what + is/are + past of verb?
Indirect Object Pronouns
me (to/for me) nos (to/for us)
te (to/for you) os (to/for you all)
le (to/for him, les (to/for them)
her, it)
Indirect Object Pronouns
Note: When you have le/les with the DOPs lo/la/los/las, the le/les changes to se.
Example: I brought it to her.
lo le
Yo se lo traje.
Position of Object Pronouns
1. DOP/IOP go in front of a conjugated verb.
2. IOP goes in front of the DOP.
3. Le and les changes to se in front of lo, la, los, las.
4. In affirmative commands, the object pronouns must follow the verb and be attached to it.
(Remember to accent with 1 object pronoun, count back 3 vowels, with 2 object pronouns, count back 4 vowels.)
damelos.
Position of Object Pronouns
DOP/IOPs can be attached directly onto the end of an infinitive or the gerund
OR they can precede the conjugated verb.
Voy a leer el libro:
Voy a leerlo. Or Lo voy a leer.
Gerunds or infinitives
If a DOP/IOP is attached to the gerund, an accent mark is put on the vowel (a or e) before –ndo.
If a DOP and IOP are attached to an infinitive, an accent mark is put on the vowel of the infinitive ending.
