IOPs Indirect Object Pronouns

IOPs IOPs are used to replace the ‘person’ that is receiving what is being verbed in the sentence. (must have prior knowledge) (many times used in an answer) the WHO/RECIPIENT of the Direct Object Usually people

IOPs There MUST be a direct object (DO) in order to have an indirect object (IO). Sometimes the DO is not given, but is understood in the sentence. I read a book to her. I read to her. (“Her” is receiving (the book) in both cases.)

IOPs me (to/for me) nos (to/for us) te (to/for you)os (to/for y’all) le (to/for him/her)les (to/for them)

IOPs -placed directly before the conjugated verb He gives money to me. We prepare food for her. Él me da dinero. Le preparamos la comida. -attached to an infinitive, gerund or command I want to give advice to you. Yo quiero darte los consejos.

IOPs Remember: - Used in same fashion as DOPs - Must have a DO to have an IO. - Replaces the recipient of the DO. - Must clarify if 3 rd person (as always). - Cannot be the subject of the sentence. ***key -- if it is to or for there is an IO look for “a” or “para”

DOPs AND IOPs TOGETHER!! Many times direct and indirect pronouns are used together. Just remember: Indirect before direct, reflexive 1 st of all! *All other rules apply.

DOP AND IOP I gave them to you. What did I give?Them (los) Who received?You (te) Use the rules & remember indirect before direct. Yo te los di. (i) (d)

BUT It’s not always as easy as it seems…….. NEVER use a double “L” le los, le las, le lo, le la, les los, les las, etc… INSTEAD change the first le or les (the IOP) to ‘SE’ then follow with the appropriate lo, la, los, las (DOP) Don’t forget the specify when needed.

I gave them to her. Yo se los di. (a ella) She gave it to them. Ella se lo dio. (a ellos).

Using Reflexives too?? It’s just this simple…. Indirect before direct, reflexive first of all!! However you’ll probably never use all 3 in one sentence. Most commonly, Indirect –Direct or Reflexive – Direct
