Pronouns are particles (little words) that take the place of the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . A better, more concise way is to use pronouns instead of repeating the noun over and over. Did you buy ? Yes, I bought . Did you pay a lot for ? Well, wasn’t cheap. Can you play ? Yes, and my brother plays too. Direct object pronouns in Spanish, just as in English, take the place of the direct object itself, so that the direct object does not have to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated… ¿Compraste Sí, compré. ¿Puedes tocar ? Sí, y mi hermano ? sabe tocar también. El Complemento Directo en español: These are used exclusively for people These are used for people and things me te nos os lo, la los, las (lo, la) (los, las) Pronouns replace things or people that are direct objects. I eat the tomatoes. Yo como los tomates. Yo los como. Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Now let’s see how pronouns replace things or people that are direct objects. Óscar kisses his wife. Óscar besa a su esposa. Óscar la besa. Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Where does the direct object pronoun go? 1. Before a conjugated verb: Yo compré el libro. Yo lo compré. 2.Attached to an infinitive, gerund (present participle) or an affirmative command: Quiero comprar el libro. Quiero comprarlo. Estoy comprando el libro. Estoy comprándolo / Lo estoy comprando. ¡Cómpralo ahora! ¡No lo compres! Notice that the personal a goes away when the direct object noun is replaced by a direct object pronoun. Óscar besa a su esposa. a Óscar la besa. PLACEMENT OF PRONOUNS ALL object pronouns are placed either before a conjugated verb Óscar la besa. or attached to the end of an infinitive or gerund (present participle). Óscar la va a besar. Óscar va a besarla. Óscar la está besando. Óscar está besándola. Be aware that object pronouns, just like verbs, must make a flip-flop transition when first and second persons are involved in the conversation. ¿Me vas a invitar a tu fiesta? Sí, te voy a invitar. ¿Nos puedes ayudar mañana? No, no os puedo ayudar. In negative sentences, the direct object pronoun is placed between no and the conjugated verb. Adolfo no la va a llamar. Adolfo is not going to call her. But, again, as in affirmative sentences, the object pronoun may be attached to the end of the infinitive or present participle. Adolfo no va a llamarla.
