Indirect Object Pronouns
Usage Indirect Object tells where Direct Object is going Answers questions – “to whom?” or “for whom” IOP comes immediately before conjugated verb Example: Juan me compra un regalo. Juan buys me a gift Me compra – buys (for) me
5
Indirect Object Pronouns
Le and Les Le and les are ambiguous when taken out of context because they can mean different things Example: Ella le escribe una carta It can mean 3 different things – she writes him a letter, she writes her a letter, she writes you a letter So we can add a prepositional phrase for clarity: Ella le escribe a Juan una carta
6
Indirect object pronouns
Prepositional Phrases Sometimes a prepositional phrase is added for emphasis Juan me da a mí el dinero Juan gives me the money “Juan me da el dinero” is not ambiguous, so “a mí” is used only for emphasis

Direct Object Pronouns
Usage The direct object is the thing that directly receives the action of the verb Answers “what?” or “whom?” Comes directly before the conjugated verb Example: Juan la tiene Juan has it
10
Direct Object Pronouns
Usage (continued) You replace the direct object with a pronoun usually because saying the direct object over and over is getting redundant Example: Me gusta la sopa. La sopa es deliciosa. Como la sopa Because “la sopa” is getting repetitive, you can change the last phrase to “La como” DOP can also be a person Example: I know you Te conozco
11

Attachment In a sentence with two verbs, you can also attach the DOP to the infinitive Both attaching and putting the DOP before the verb mean the same thing Example: Lo quiero ver (I want to see it) Quiero verlo
