III. Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns

Los complementos directos o Direct Object Pronouns (D.O.P.’s) They tell who or what ________ the action of the verb. Example: Do you wash the dishes? Yes, I wash them. So, instead of repeating…the dishes…we use the word them.

What are the direct object pronouns? Singular Plural (me) (us) (you) (you guys) Masculine (it/him/you) (them/you all) Feminine (it/her/you)

Los complementos indirectos o IOP’s They answer the questions “________?” or “_________?” the action is performed/intended. Example: Ana bought gifts for her friends. She bought gifts for them. So, instead of repeating…her friends…we use the word them.

What are the indirect object pronouns? (to, for me) (to, for us) (to, for you) (to, for you guys) (to, for him/her/you) them, you all)

Ejemplos: Ella llama a mí.* (D) Ella _____ llama. Yo lavo los platos. (D) Yo _____ lavo. Yo doy el regalo a ella. (I) Yo _____ doy (a ella). *Remember that when a person is a direct or indirect object you must use “a personal.”
