1. Indirect Object Pronouns
You will explain the first 5 and I will do the last five. Both slide 1 and 10 are not important so we really have 4 each. After IO clarifier its my turn.
Spanish 3 VC c.4

2. Identifying the parts of a sentence:
Verb - the action or state of being
Subject – who does the action
who or what + verb = subject
Direct Object – who or what receives the action directly
S+V+ who or what = D.O.
Indirect Object – to whom or for whom the action is done
S+V+(D.O.) + to whom or for whom=I.O.

3. Identifying an Indirect Object:
The I.O. answers the question “to whom?” or “for whom” the action of the verb is performed.
S + V + (D.O.) + to whom or for whom
= Indirect Object
I am giving the gift to her.

4. Object Pronoun Placement
If it is the object of a conjugated verb, it goes in front of that verb.
If it is the object of an infinitive verb, attach it to the end of the infinitive.

5. Object Pronoun Placement
Me gusta la comida china.
I like Chinese food.
2. Yo quiero darle el libro a él.
I want to give him the book.

6. Object Pronoun Placement
3. Dame el libro.

4. No le dé las llaves a él.

7. Combination Object Pronoun Placement
1. When more than one object pronoun is used, they need to be placed using the acronym
RID (reflexive)(Indirect)(direct)
2. If both the D.O.p and I.O.p are used AND both are in the 3rd person, THEN the I.O.p (le or les) changes to SE
Ie…Quiero darselo a ella.

8. Paco gives the gift to her.
Watch for this…
In English the indirect object is typically only represented once, either with the pronoun or the clarifier.
Paco gives her the gift.
Paco gives the gift to her.

9. Paco le da el regalo a ella.
Watch for this…
In Spanish the indirect object is typically represented twice, once with the pronoun (manditory) and once with the clarifier (sometimes optional).

10. Indirect Object Clarifier

11. Clarifier Placement
