Direct Object pronouns Guided notes

WHAT ARE DIRECT OBJECTS IN ENGLISH? They receive the action of the verb. Answer the questions: whom? or what? about the verb Examples: I have the backpack. The backpack is receiving the action of the verb The Direct Object(DO) is the backpack.

SO WHAT WOULD IT BE IN SPANISH? Yo tengo la mochila. I have the backpack. la mochila is our DO How does this sound… I have the backpack. The backpack was given to me by my sister. She liked the backpack. The backpack holds all my things. The backpack is blue and pink. I take my backpack everywhere! What could we change? ~ Let’s put IT in there!

Direct Object Pronouns THE PROS AT DOS Here’s how we replace those direct objects nouns with their pronouns: Direct Object Pronouns Singular Plural me ( me) nos- (us) te ( you- familiar) os (you-all, familiar) lo (masculine, you-formal, him, it) la (feminine, you-formal, her, it) los (masculine, you, them) las (feminine, you, them)

Note the personal a is dropped PLACING THE PROS The DO pronouns are placed directly BEFORE the conjugated verbs! Yo tengo la mochila. Luis ve al profesor. Note the personal a is dropped Replaced by La tengo. Replaced by Luis lo ve.

ANOTHER PLACING When an infinitive follows the conjugated verb, the direct object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated verb or ATTACHED to the infinitive. No voy a lavar la ropa. No voy a lavarla. BEFORE No la voy a lavar. ATTACHED
