Term
| Using both direct and indirect object pronouns. |
|
Definition
Rule #1: Indirect object pronouns come before direct object pronouns.
Example:
Yo te doy el dinero a ti.
Yo te lo doy.
In this example, el dinero is the direct object and is replaced with lo. We are replacing
the indirect object with a pronoun as well (te). They both come before the verb, but
remember to put the indirect object pronoun first!
Rule #2: If the indirect object pronoun is in 3rd person (either le or les), it must be
changed to se if it is used with a direct object pronoun.
From an earlier example:
Jim compra pizza para Rob y Emilie.
Jim se la compra. (NOT Jim les la compra.) |

Direct object pronouns are used to replace a noun that receives the action of a
verb. You can identify the direct object of a sentence by asking the questions "what?"
or "whom?" Some direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun
they replace.
The object pronoun los agrees in gender and number with zapatos and the object
pronoun las agrees in gender and number with manzanas.
As you can see, the word order changes (the pronoun comes before the verb).
Object pronouns can also be attached to the end of infinitive verbs and gerunds: |
