Indirect Object Pronouns

What is it???????????????

• Not like direct object pronouns, Indirect Object Pronouns tell to whom or for whom an action is performed.

• Who (did/is doing) what for whom.

• They replace or accompany an indirect object noun.

Here is your chart………………Singular Plural

Le-(to/for) him, her, you Les-(to/for) them

Remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are used to tell to whom or for whom an action is performed.

How does it look in English????????????????????????

• She always wanted to buy candy for her daughter.

• She would always tell the truth to her parents.

• Our teachers didn’t permit us to drink soda in class.

Let see those sentences in Spanish.

• Siempre le quería comprar dulces a su hija.

• Ella siempre les decía la verdad a sus padres.

• Nuestros profesores no nos permitían beber refrescos en clase.

One more thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Siempre les decía la verdad a sus padres.– Le and les have more than one meaning– To make it more clear, add……………..• a + (name, noun, or pronoun)

– a sus padres.– a su hija

Grand finale!!!!!!!!!!!

• Indirect object pronouns can also go before the verb or attached to the infinitive.
