Indirect Object Pronouns
What is it??????????????? Not like direct object pronouns, Indirect Object Pronouns tell to whom or for whom an action is performed. Who (did/is doing) what for whom. They replace or accompany an indirect object noun.
Here is your chart……………… SingularPlural Me-(to/for) meNos-(to/for) us Te-(to/for) you Le-(to/for) him, her, youLes-(to/for) them Remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are used to tell to whom or for whom an action is performed. We bought the tickets for them. Nosotros les compramos los boletos.
How does it look in English???????????????????????? She always wanted to buy candy for her daughter. She would always tell the truth to her parents. Our teachers didn’t permit us to drink soda in class.
Let see those sentences in Spanish. Siempre le quería comprar dulces a su hija. Ella siempre les decía la verdad a sus padres. Nuestros profesores no nos permitían beber refrescos en clase.
One more thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Siempre les decía la verdad a sus padres. – Le and les have more than one meaning – To make it more clear, add…………….. a + (name, noun, or pronoun) – a sus padres. – a su hija
Grand finale!!!!!!!!!!! Indirect object pronouns can also go before the verb or attached to the infinitive. – Siempre quería comprarle dulces a su hija – Nunca iba a meterme en problemas.
