2 DIRECT OBJECTS & DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS. The DIRECT OBJECT is the person/thing that receives an action from the SUBJECT/NOUN. Example: La madre lleva las llaves. ( The mother carries the keys. ) To identify the DIRECT OBJECT in a sentence, ask yourself the following: What or Who is receiving the action? SUBJECTDIRECT OBJECT

3 DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS ( Replace what or who receive actions…) ENGLISHSPANISHME ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YOUTE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IT/HIM/HERLO (masc./sing.)/LA (fem./sing.)

4 SUBJECT and DIRECT OBJECT pronouns are used to simplify the sentence or to avoid repetition. EXAMPLE: La madre lleva las llaves. ELLA LAS lleva. D.O. PRONOUNS me nos te os lo los la las SUBJECT PRONOUNS yo nosotros tú vosotros Ud. ustedes él ellos ella ellas ATTENTION: D.O. Pronouns are found BEFORE a conjugated verbs.

5 PRACTICE: D IRECT O BJECT P RONOUNS (DOP S ) BEFORE A CONJUGATED VERB Instructions: Replace the underlined Direct Objects with the Direct Object Pronouns in the second sentence. Example: “Ella escribió el libro.”  Ella lo escribió. 1.Mariana manda las fotos.  Mariana ______ manda. 2.Carlos y Ana resuelven el problema.  Carlos y Ana _____ resuelven. 3.El presidente pierde las elecciones.  El presidente _____ pierde. 4.Nosotros leemos el cuento.  Nosotros _____ leemos. 5.Marcos pide la cuenta.  Marcos _____ pide. 6.Los alumons buscan al profesor Dustin.  Los alumnos _____ buscan. 7.Yo visito a los padres.  Yo _____ visito. 8.Alejandro visita la ciudad.  Alejandro _____ visita. 9.Nosotros miramos el atardecer.  Nosotros _____ miramos. 10.Yo compro el libro de matemáticas.  Yo ____ compro.

6 DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS: So far, we have learned that a DIRECT OBJECT is the person/thing that receives the action in a sentence. We’ve also learned that DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS replace the direct object to simplify our sentence just like we do in English with “it” or “them”: “I eat the apple.”  “I eat it.” There are two ways that Direct Object Pronouns can be placed: A) Before a conjugated verb. (The one we just learned). Example: Carlos lee el libro. (Carlos reads the book.)  Carlos lo lee. (Carlos reads it.) B) Attached at the end of an infinitive verb. Next, we will learn how to put DOPs attached to infinitive verbs.

7 DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS WITH INFINITIVES What is an infinitive verb? An infinitive verb is a verb in its purest form, which means that it is a verb that has not been conjugated yet. In English, infinitive verbs: to be, to dance, to eat, etc. DIRECT OBJECT pronouns are found after (and connected to) the infinitive. EJEMPLO: Quiero ver la película. ( I want to see the movie. ) Quiero ver la. ( I want to see it. ) Note that the infinitive verb is placed in front of a conjugated verb, in this case is “querer” (to want) just like in English.
