hay-there is / there are

Direct Object PronounsA direct object is a person or thing that receives the direct action of the

verb.

I eat the tamales.

Yo como los tamales.

Óscar kisses his wife.

Óscar besa a su esposa.

A direct object answers what or whom:

Identifying a DO

SUBJECT + VERB + WHAT / WHOM

Yo como

DIRECT OBJECT

los tamales.

Óscar besa su esposa.a

Pronouns-little words that take the place of the object, so that the object does not have to be

repeated over and over.

Did you buy the pianothe piano?

Yes, I bought the pianothe piano.

Did you pay a lot for the pianothe piano?

Well, the pianothe pianowasn’t cheap.

Can you play the pianothe piano?

Yes, and my brother plays the pianothe pianotoo.

the pianothe piano

the pianothe piano

the pianothe piano

the pianothe piano

the pianothe piano

the pianothe piano

Notice how many times “the piano” was repeated???

A better, more concise way is to use pronouns instead of repeating the noun over

and over.

Did you buy the pianothe piano?Yes, I bought itit .Did you pay a lot for ?itit

Well, wasn’t cheap. itit

Can you play ?itit

Yes, and my brother plays too.itit

Direct object pronouns in Spanish, just as in English, take the place of the direct

object itself, so that the direct object does not have to be repeated, and repeated, and

repeated . . .

¿Compraste el pianoel piano?Sí, lolo compré.¿Puedes tocar ?lolo

Sí, y mi hermano sabe tocar también.lolo

Here are the DO pronouns:

mete

nosos

for people

These are used exclusively

***These are almost all the same as DEFINITE ARTICLES (el, la, los, las), which all mean “the.” The only one different is the singular masculine “lo.” Don’t get “el” and “lo” mixed up.

lo, la los, las These are used for people and things

him, it

her, it them

I eat the tamales.

Yo como los tamales.

Yo los como.

Óscar kisses his wife.

Óscar besa a su esposa.

Óscar la besa.

• Placed before the conjugated verb– I drink it. (water-el agua)-->Yo lo bebo.

Where do DO pronouns go?

DO pronouns are commonly used in conversation when the object is established or known. Again, this

avoids needless repetition.

¿Dónde ves a Jorge y a Sarita? Where do you see Jorge and Sarita?

Los veo en clase. I see them in class.

¿Visitas a tu abuela con frecuencia?

Do you visit your grandmother often?

Sí, la visito mucho. Yes, I visit her a lot.

Do not be misled into thinking that los and la in the above answers are the subjects of the sentences just because they appear in subject position. The subject of both answers, which is of course yo, is simply not expressed in these instances.

In negative sentences, the DO pronoun is placed between no and the conjugated verb.

Adolfo no la va a llamar.

(Adolfo is not going to call her.)
