1 A direct object noun receives the action of the verb directly and generally follows the verb. In the example above, the direct object noun answers the question What are Álex and Javier taking? Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

2 When a direct object noun in Spanish is a person or a pet, it is preceded by the word a. This is called the personal a; there is no English equivalent for this construction. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

3 The personal a is required when the direct object is a person
The personal a is required when the direct object is a person. The personal a is not required when the direct object is a place, not a person. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

5 Direct object pronouns are words that replace direct object nouns
Direct object pronouns are words that replace direct object nouns. Like English, Spanish sometimes uses a direct object pronoun to avoid repeating a noun already mentioned. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

6 In affirmative sentences, direct object pronouns generally appear before the conjugated verb. In negative sentences, the pronoun is placed between the word no and the verb. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

7 When the verb is an infinitive construction, such as ir a + [infinitive], the direct object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated form or attached to the infinitive. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.

8 When the verb is in the present progressive, the direct object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated form or attached to the present participle. ¡Atención! When a direct object pronoun is attached to the present participle, an accent mark is added to maintain the proper stress. Copyright © 2009 Vista Higher Learning. All rights reserved.
