1 Direct Object Pronouns

2 Direct Object Pronouns (pg. 156) 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. “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.”) (You’re really saying something like, “Yes, it I have.”)

11 If you attach the DOP to the gerund (ando/iendo/yendo) then you need to add an accent on the 3 rd to last syllable: Buscandolas = -las is the last, -do is the 2 nd to last, -an is the 3 rd. Accent goes here: Buscándolas = looking for them.
