The Indirect Object Pronoun answers the question “To whom?” or “For whom?” the action of the verb is performed to. For example: I bought her the shoes (for Jill). She told them the story (to Tom, Sam and Harry). Verb IOP Verb IOP

Pronoun Placement There are five places a pronoun (any kind, not just indirect object pronouns) may be placed in a sentence in Spanish. Directly before a conjugated verb At the end of an infinitive (thus forming a longer word!) At the end of a command (imperative form) At the end of a present participle (-ing form) Before a negative command.

1. Before a conjugated verb They sing the song to us. Pronoun verb indirect object pronoun Ellos nos cantan la canción. (a nosotros). Pronoun indirect object pronoun verb NOTE: Indirect Object Pronouns are usually put before a conjugated verb.

2. At the end of an infinitive Remember, an infinitive is an unconjugated verb. (It ends in “r”) -She is going to tell us the answer. indirect object pronoun Pronoun verb -Ella va a decirnos la respuesta. indirect object pronoun Pronoun verb

 “Write to your grandmother!” 3. At the end of a command “Tell me!” in English is the same in Spanish. Place the pronoun directly at the end of the command. For example: “Tell us!” ¡Dinos!  “Write to your grandmother!” ¡Escribele!

4. At the end of a present particle (-ing verb) In a present particle you will almost always have 2 options: For example: “I am writing you (tú) a letter.” (Yo) te estoy escribiendo una carta. Or (Yo) estoy escribiendote una carta. Either location is OK! You choose where to put it!

5. Before a negative command Place the indirect object pronoun before the conjugated verb. For example: “Don’t tell us!” ¡No, nos digas!  “Don’t write to your grandmother!” ¡No, le escribas! NOTE: In a negative sentence in Spanish the indirect object is placed in front of the conjugated verb. It cannot be placed in front of “no”.
