2. Indirect Object Pronouns We’ve seen two types of pronouns so far: – Subject: yo, tú, él… – Direct object: me, te, lo, la… In this slide show, we are going to look at one more type: indirect objects.

3. What’s an indirect object? Complete these sentences: – The teacher gave ___ an A. – Bill Gates sent ___ a million dollars. – My parents bought ___ a used car. – Julia told ___ the big secret.

4. So tell me the answer! Did you say something like: – The teacher gave you an A. – Bill Gates sent me a million dollars. – My parents bought my little sister a used car. – Julia told everyone the big secret.

5. Indirect objects The indirect objects in these sentences are the people who received something: you, me, my little sister, everyone. The first two objects use pronouns – you, me. Can you guess what the Spanish equivalents are?

6. That’s right! me > you > te The second pair of objects can be replaced with pronouns – her, them. What are the Spanish equivalents?

7. Hmm, this looks familiar! her > le them > les We’ve seen this form before when we looked at gusta.

8. Some common verbs Indirect objects are used together with verbs such as: – Dar (give) – Enviar (send) – Comprar (buy) – Mandar (send) – Decir (tell) – Regalar (give a gift)

9. Here are the forms! The “indirect objects” are: – me > me – te > you – le > him, her, “Ud.” – nos > us – les > them, “Uds.”

10. ¡Vamos a practicar! Complete each sentence with an appropriate indirect object pronoun. The recipient for each sentence is provided. [Recipient: me] Mis padres ___ enviaron (sent) $100 para comprar un vestido nuevo. Mis padres me enviaron (sent) $100 para comprar un vestido nuevo. Remember to place all objects before a one-word verb form.

11. Otro, por favor. [Recipient: you] ¿ ___ enviaron tus padres dinero también? ¿ Te enviaron tus padres dinero también? What if there is more than one of “you” ? ¿ Les enviaron sus padres dinero también? Use the “Uds.” form!

12. Muy bien. [Recipient: her] Diego ___ compró un anillo (ring) a Luisa. Diego le compró un anillo (ring) a Luisa.

13. Can you give us another? [Recipient: us] La profesora de antropología ___ da mucha tarea. La profesora de antropología nos da mucha tarea.
