• Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. Direct object pronouns directly receive the action of the verb. Indirect object pronouns identify to whom or for whom an action is done.
Tip – Jot this down!
• When trying to determine if something is a direct or indirect pronoun in Spanish keep in mind the following:
• 1) Direct object pronouns answer the question “who?” or “what?”
– I write…(yo escribo)
• WHAAAAT?
– A letter…(una carta)
– I write a letter. = Escribo una carta. OR La escribo.
– I see…(yo veo)
• WHOOOOO?
– Her…(ella)
– I see her. = La veo. 2.1–3

Most common position of object pronouns:• Direct and indirect object pronouns can always
safely precede a conjugated verb. Depending on the syntax and structure there are other possible placements of object pronouns but before a conjugated verb is always failproof.
INDIRECT OBJECT DIRECT OBJECT
Carla siempre me da entradas para el teatro. Ella las consigue gratis.Carla always gives me tickets to the theater. She gets them for free.

Other positions of object pronouns:•When the verb is an infinitive construction, object pronouns may either be attached to the infinitive or placed before the conjugated verb.

Necesitamos pedirle un favor. Voy a hacerlo enseguida.
Le necesitamos pedir un favor. Lo voy a hacer enseguida.
Tienes que hablarnos de la película.

Double Trouble!: Double Object Pronouns• The indirect object pronoun precedes the direct object
pronoun when they are used together in a sentence. (Think “I DO!”)
Me mandaron los boletos por correo.
Me los mandaron por correo.
Te exijo una respuesta ahora mismo.
Te la exijo ahora mismo.

• When using double object pronouns in a sentence, le and les change to se when they are used with lo, la, los, or las. Why? Because it sounds bad to rattle off two objects that start with “L.”
Le da los libros a Ricardo. Se los da.
Le enseña las invitaciones a Elena. Se las enseña.

When object pronouns are attached to infinitives, participles, or commands, a written accent is often required to maintain proper word stress.

Prepositional pronouns
• Prepositional pronouns function as the objects of prepositions. Except for mí, ti, and sí, these pronouns are the same as the subject pronouns.
¿Qué piensas de ella? ¿Lo compraron para mí o para Javier?
Ay, mi amor, sólo pienso en ti. Lo compramos para él.
2.1–13
• The indirect object can be repeated with the construction a + [prepositional pronoun] to provide clarity or emphasis.
¿Te gusta aquel cantante? ¡A mí me fascina! ¡Me encanta su estilo!
¿A quién se lo dieron? Se lo dieron a ella.

• When a third person subject refers to himself, herself, or itself, the pronoun sí is used. In this case, the adjective mismo(s)/a(s) is usually added to clarify the object.
José se lo regaló a él. José se lo regaló a sí mismo.
José gave it to him (someone else).
José gave it to himself.

• When mí, ti, and sí are used with con, they become conmigo, contigo, and consigo.
¿Quieres ir conmigo al parque de atracciones?
Do you want to go to the amusement park with me?
Laura siempre lleva su computadora portátil consigo.
Laura always brings her laptop with her.

Todos están de acuerdo menos tú y yo. Entre tú y yo, Juan me cae mal.
Everyone is in agreement except you and me. Between you and me, I can’t stand Juan.
