5 Direct Object Pronoun (DOP)
The object that directly receives the action of the verb is called the direct object. -Luis hit the ball. “Ball” receives the action of the verb “hit.” -Marcos reads the book. “Book” receives the action of the verb “reads.”

6 The direct object answers the question “what. ” or “whom
The direct object answers the question “what?” or “whom?” with regard to what the subject of the sentence is doing. Luis hit the ball. Luis hit what? Luis hit the ball. Marcos hit Bill. Marcos hit whom? Marcos hit Bill.

7 Why do we need DOP? Often, it is desirable to replace the name of the direct object with a pronoun. Example 1 Paul bought the flowers. He took the flowers home and gave the flowers to his wife. Example 2 Paul bought the flowers. He took them home and gave them to his wife.

8 Example 1 Paul trajo las flores. El trajo las flores a casa y le dio las flores a su mujer. Example 2 Paul trajo las flores. El las trajo a casa y se las dio a su mujer.

9 me (me) te (you-familiar) lo, la (him, her, it, you-formal)
When the pronoun replaces the name of the direct object, use the following pronouns (DOP): me (me) te (you-familiar) lo, la (him, her, it, you-formal) nos (us) os (you-all-familiar) los, las (them, you-all-formal)

10 Differences: “It” has two forms in Spanish: lo, la The word order is different. In Spanish, the pronoun (lo, la) comes before the verb; in English, the pronoun (it) comes after the verb.

11 Juan come dos sándwiches.
María tiene tres libros. El chico compra dos revistas. La chica ve dos coches. Ella compra dos televisores. Tenemos dos mesas.

12 I know you. She loves him. She loves me. Juan sees her. They call us. We call them.

13 Juan stops the car Stop the car! (Use the familiar singular comm.)

14 Juan stops the car - Juan para el coche Stop the car! (Use the fam. singular comm.) - Para el coche!

15 Juan stops the car Juan para el coche - Juan lo para Stop the car! (Use the fam. singular comm.) Para el coche! - Paralo!

16 When we are using commands, the DOP goes after the verb, all together in one word. When we are not using commands, the DOP goes before the verb, separated from the verb.
