What are the D.O.P.s in Spanish? me = me nos = us te = you (familiar) ================ lo / la = you (formal), him, her, it los / las = you, them Placement of the D.O.P. • The D.O.P. is placed BEFORE the conjugated verb. • Example) Quiero la camisa.

Singular – me, te, lo, la Plural – nos, los, las Figure out which D.O.P. to use based on the above steps. EXAMPLE Quiero comprar el disco compacto de Rhiana. Our D.O. is el disco compacto. We know that it is just one, so singular. me, te, lo, or la are our choices We know that it is masculine based on the object “el” me, te, or lo We know that it is not a person, so the D.O.P. has to be lo. Your Turn… Necesito comer la cena antes de dormir. What is your D.O.? Is it masculine or feminine? Is it singular or plural? Is it a person or an object? What is your final answer? Answer If you answered la, you’re right! La necesito comer antes de dormir. La replaces cena. ¿? ¿Tienes preguntas?
