Indirect object pronouns Chapter 3 What are indirect objects in English? They receive the action of the direct object. Answer the question: to whom? or for whom? the action is done Examples: I give the backpack to Rosa. Who is receiving the backpack? ROSA The Indirect Object(IO) is the ROSA. So what would it be in Spanish? Yo doy la mochila a Rosa. I give the backpack to Rosa. Yo doy la mochila a Rosa. Rosa is our IO Instead of always saying to Rosa, what could we change it to? ~ Let’s put HER in there! The Pros at IOs Here’s how we say replace those indirect object nouns with their pronouns: Indirect Object Pronouns Singular Plural me ( me) nos- (us) te ( you- familiar) os (you-all, familiar) le (you-formal, him, her) les (you, them) Placing the Pros The IO pronouns accompany the NOUN it modifies OR replace the NOUN. The pronoun appears BEFORE the conjugated verbs. Accompanies Mamá les da el dinero a José y Ana. Mom gives José and Ana the money. Replaces José y Ana Mamá les da el dinero. Mom gives them the money. Another Placing When an infinitive follows the conjugated verb, the indirect object pronoun can be placed before the conjugated verb or ATTACHED to the infinitive. Le voy a vender mi coche a Sara. I’m going to sell Sara my car. Comes before the Conjugated Verb Le voy a vender mi coche. attached Voy a venderle mi coche. I’m going to sell her my car.
