Language Objective: I will learn how to utilize direct object pronouns
to talk about sports.
Content Objective: I will learn how to replace direct object nouns with direct
object pronouns.
Direct Object
Pronouns
Español 1Señora Lear
The object that directly receives the action of the
verb is called
the
direct object.
The direct object answers the
question “what?” or “whom?”
with regard to what the
subject of the sentence is doing.
Marcos hit the ball.
“Ball” receives the action of the verb “hit.”
Marcos hit Juanito.
“Juanito” receives the action of the verb “hit.”
The direct object can also be a person.
Often, it is desirable to replace the name of the direct object with a pronoun.
ejemplo:
Paul bought the flowers. He took the flowers home and gave the
flowers to his wife.
ejemplo:
Paul bought the flowers. He took them home and gave them to his wife.
Direct Object Pronouns
yo me
me nos nosotros(as)us
túyou (familiar) te os
vosotrosyou (familiar)
el, ella, ustedhim, it (m.)her, it (f.)you (m/f formal)
lo/la los/las ellos, ellas, ustedesthem (m.)them (f.)you (m/f. formal)
In an affirmative statement with one verb, the direct object pronoun comes
immediately before the conjugated verb.
Tengo la pluma. = I have the pen.
La tengo. = I have it.
The pronoun la comes immediately before the verb (tengo).
Pronoun Placement:
Notice that if the subject of the sentence changes, this does not affect the
direct object pronoun.
Juan la tiene.
Juan tiene la pluma. Juan has the pen.
However, if the direct object of the sentence changes to a masculine noun, the masculine
pronoun must be used.
Juan tiene el libro. = Juan has the book.
Juan lo tiene. = Juan has it.

Tricks of the TradeSee if you can find a patern:
¿Tienes ¿Tienes lala bufanda? bufanda?Sí, Sí, lala tengo tengo..
¿Llevas loslos shorts?
Sí, loslos llevo.
¿Tienes laslas gafas de sol?No, no laslas tengo.
Remember the definite articles?
la blusa el chico
las chicas los chicos
In every case except “el” the definite article is the same as the direct object pronoun.
la blusa
¿Lo tienes?
el libro
las blusas
los zapatos
