1 Pronombres de objetos indirectos Indirect object pronouns

2 I. What is an indirect object?  An indirect object (IO) answers the questions to/for whom? something is happening.  The IO is indirectly receiving the action of the verb.

3 An indirect object is a thing or person that answers to what or to whom, respectively, in the following equation: SUBJECT + VERB + TO WHAT (TO WHOM) INDIRECT OBJECT Yoleoun libroa mi amiga DIRECT OBJECT

4 A. English ** Note – the IO can be preceded by to in English.  What is the IO in each of the following sentences? Ex1: I give José the prescription. José Ex2: They speak to us. (to) us Ex3: She writes you a letter. you

5 B. Spanish  In Spanish, the IO has the same grammatical function.  The IO is always preceded by a (to) in Spanish!

6 What is the IO in each of the following sentences? Ex1: Doy la receta a José. a José Ex2: Hablan a nosotros. a nosotros Ex3: Ella escribe una carta a ti. a ti

7 II. Indirect object pronouns  In Spanish, we replace IOs with IOPs.  Note, you have been doing this with gustar.  We do the same thing in English as well. Ex: I give José the prescription I give him the prescription

8 A. IOPs me = a mí (to me) nos = a nosotros (to us) te = a ti (to you) os = a vosotros (to you all) le = a él, ella, Ud. (to him, her, you) les = a ellos, ellas, Uds. (to them, you all)

9 B. Placement  The IOP is placed immediately in front of the verb (same as when using gustar).

10 Examples Ex1: Hablamos a vosotros. Os hablamos. Ex2: El médico da una receta a mí. El médico me da una receta. Ex3: ¿Quién escribe a ellos? ¿Quién les escribe?
