DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS

1. The written lessons is below

2. Links to quizzes, tests, etc. are to the left

The object that directly receives the action of the verb is called the direct object

- Bill hit the ball

“ball” receives the action of the verb “hit”

- Sherry reads the book

“book” receives the action of the verb “reads”

The direct object can also be a person

Sherry hit bill

(DO=Bill)

The direct object answers the question “what?” or “whom?” with regard to what the subject of the sentence is doing.

Bill hit the ball

Bill hit what?

Bill hit the ball

Often, it is desirable to replace the name of the direct object with a pronoun

Example: Paul bought the flowers. He took the flowers home and gave the flowers to his wife.

When the pronoun replaces the name of the direct object, use the following pronouns:

Me (me)

Te (you-familiar)

Lo, la (him, her, it, you- formal)

Nos (us)

Os (you- all- familiar)

Los, las (them, you- all-formal)

In a affirmative statement with one verb, the direct object pronoun comes immediately before the conjugated verb.

Tengo: I have

Tengo la pluma: I have the pen

La tengo: I have it

THE NUMBERS IN OUR NATURE

If you think of math as a subject that is concerned only with

lifeless numbers,

then you might be in for a surprise. At first, nature appears to be

full of unique

features and diverse species. A world away from the limits and

control of mathematical rules. However, there is actually a clear

link between mathematics and a range of Mother Nature’s

features and creations which may completely change your view

of the world we live in.
