1 Direct Object Pronouns

2 The direct object in a sentence receives that action of the verb. They answer Whom? or What? about the verb. Nouns used as direct objects can be replaced by pronouns: In English: Do you have the book? Yes, I have it. Direct object pronoun replaces book

3 In Spanish, the direct object noun is placed AFTER the conjugated verb: ¿Tienes el libro? Do you have the book? (libro comes after tienes) The direct object pronoun is placed directly BEFORE the conjugated verb: Sí, lo tengo. Yes, I have it. (lo replaces el libro as it and comes before tengo.)

4 Try these! ¿Comes un sándwich? Sí, __________________________ ¿Llevas la falda nueva? Sí, ________________________________ ¿Haces la tarea? No, no _______________________________

5 Try these! ¿Comes un sándwich? Sí, _lo como_ ¿Llevas la falda nueva? Sí, _la llevo___ ¿Haces la tarea? No, no __lo hago__

6 When an infinitive (not conjugated) follows the conjugated verb, you can place the direct object pronoun either: BEFORE the conjugated verb: Quiero comprar la torta = La quiero comprar. OR ATTACHED to the infinitive: Quiero comprar la torta = Quiero comprarla.
