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.

In Spanish there are 8 DOPs:

• ME

• TE

• LO,LA

• NOS

• OS

• LOS,LAS

Note how third person agrees in gender with the object they represent.

Page 3: 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

To form a sentence using a DOP…1) Ask yourself “who” or “what” the verb

affects. That is the DIRECT OBJECT.

2) Change the direct object to a direct object pronoun (DOP).

3) Rewrite the sentence using the DOP instead of the direct object.

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.

since there is also a CONJUGATED VERB in the sentence, the direct object pronoun can still

go BEFORE the conjugated verb.

to a PARTICIPLE (-ANDO/-IENDO).

HOWEVER…

THEREFORE…

When you attach to the end of the participle, you add a syllable to the word, which messes with the natural stress.

The participle will need a written accent over the “A” in –ANDO or the “E” in –IENDO.

HOWEVER…

THEREFORE…

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.

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.

The command will need a written accent.

Indirect Objects are another object but are completely

different than directs.

Page 14: 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

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.

Page 15: 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

In Spanish there are 6 IOPs

• ME

• TE

• LE

• NOS

• OS

• LES

With third person “LE” and “LES”, using an “A” phrase is helpful.

Page 16: 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

To form a sentence using a IOP…

1) Ask yourself “to whom” or “for whom” the action is performed. That is the INDIRECT OBJECT.

2) Change the indirect object to a indirect object pronoun (IOP).

3) Rewrite the sentence using the IOP instead of the indirect object.

Page 17: 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

The placement rules are the same.

1. Place BEFORE a conjugated verb.

2. ATTACH to the end of an infinitive.

3. ATTACH to the end of a present participle (and add an accent).

4. Always ATTACH to an affirmative command.

5. Always place BEFORE a negative command.

When you use a DOP and an IOP in the same sentence, you need to

remember TWO things:

1. The IOP goes before the DOP.

2. You can’t have two “L” object pronouns together.

1) IOP before DOP

2) No double “L” – change IOP to “SE”

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.
