Direct Object Pronouns Me, te, nos Pronouns are little words that replace the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated over and over . . . Did you buy Yes, I bought ? . wasn’t cheap. ? Can you play • Did you buy the piano? – ¿Compraste el piano? • Yes, I bought it. – Sí, lo compré. • In Spanish, we replace the words with the Direct Object Pronouns Remember these Direct Object Pronouns? Boots tiene un par de botas • Lo vamos a encontrar. Pon atención al Zorro. • Si lo ves, grita “¡Swiper, no te lo lleves!” Pronombres de objeto directo The pronoun goes before the conjugated verb just like with reflexive verbs. Ella tiene un mono. Ella lo tiene. Yo veo una mariposa. Yo la veo. Look at the Dora book we are reading. • Backpack me va a ayudar. – Backpack is going to help_____? – Me (which refers to Dora) • ¿Nos ayudarías? – Would you help ______? – Us (which refers to Dora and friends) The direct object pronouns in Spanish are as follows: These are used exclusively for people And these for people and things me te nos lo, la los, las (lo, la) (los, las) DOP: Me, Te, Nos Singular me me te you (informal) lo him, it you (formal) la her, it you (formal) Plural nos los las us them, you them, you • A direct object receives the action of a verb and serves to answer the question What? or Who? in relation to that verb • Mariano drinks coffee. (direct object noun) What does he drink? • Juanita helped him. (direct object pronoun) Who did Juanita help? DOP: Me, Te, Nos • Direct object pronouns usually come right before the conjugated verb. • When an infinitive follows a conjugated verb, the direct object pronoun can be placed before the first verb or attached to the infinitive. DOP: Me, Te, Nos • ¿Pueden entenderme? – (Attached to the infinitive.) • ¡No te entiendo! – (Before the conjugated verb.) Pronombres me, te, nos Me - me Te - you Nos - us Él me vio. He saw me. Yo te ayudo. I help you. Ellos nos dicen. They tell us. Me vio. He saw me. Te ayudo. I help you. Nos dicen. They tell us. Remember: The Direct Object Pronoun is NOT the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is usually implied by the verb tense. Be aware that object pronouns, just like verbs, must make a flip-flop transition when involved in a conversation. ¿Me vas a invitar a tu fiesta? Sí, te voy a invitar. ¿Nos ayudas mañana? No, no los ayudo. He calls me every night. Me llama cada noche. I help you with homework. Te ayudo con la tarea. I visit you every day. Te visito cada día. I listen to you. Te escucho. They understand us. Nos entienden. Practicamos • Me llaman Señorita. – Who is being called Señorita? Who is receiving the action? – ME! • Te adoro. – Who do I adore? – YOU! • Nos invitan. – Who do they invite? – US! El fin
