Direct Object Pronouns A direct object is a person or thing that receives the direct action of the verb. I eat the tamales. Yo como los tamales. Óscar kisses his wife. Óscar besa a su esposa.
A direct object answers what or whom: Identifying a DO SUBJECT + VERB + WHAT / WHOM Yocomo DIRECT OBJECT los tamales. Óscarbesasu esposa.a
Pronouns-little words that take the place of the object, so that the object does not have to be repeated over and over. Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought the piano. Did you pay a lot for the piano ? Well, the piano wasn’t cheap. Can you play the piano ? Yes, and my brother plays the piano too.
the piano Notice how many times “the piano” was repeated???
A better, more concise way is to use pronouns instead of repeating the noun over and over. Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought it. Did you pay a lot for? it Well,wasn’t cheap. it Can you play? it Yes, and my brother playstoo. it
Direct object pronouns in Spanish, just as in English, take the place of the direct object itself, so that the direct object does not have to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated... ¿Compraste el piano ? Sí, lo compré. ¿Puedes tocar? lo Sí, y mi hermanosabe tocar también. lo
Here are the DO pronouns: me te nos os for people These are used exclusively ***These are almost all the same as DEFINITE ARTICLES (el, la, los, las), which all mean “the.” The only one different is the singular masculine “lo.” Don’t get “el” and “lo” mixed up. lo, lalos, las These are used for people and things him, it her, itthem
I eat the tamales. Yo como los tamales. Yo los como. Óscar kisses his wife. Óscar besa a su esposa. Óscar la besa.
Placed before the conjugated verb – I drink it. (water-el agua)-->Yo lo bebo. Where do DO pronouns go?
DO pronouns are commonly used in conversation when the object is established or known. Again, this avoids needless repetition. ¿Dónde ves a Jorge y a Sarita ? Where do you see Jorge and Sarita? Los veo en clase. I see them in class. ¿Visitas a tu abuela con frecuencia? Do you visit your grandmother often? Sí, la visito mucho. Yes, I visit her a lot. Do not be misled into thinking that los and la in the above answers are the subjects of the sentences just because they appear in subject position. The subject of both answers, which is of course yo, is simply not expressed in these instances.
In negative sentences, the DO pronoun is placed between no and the conjugated verb. Adolfo no la va a llamar. (Adolfo is not going to call her.)
