PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Basic Rules
- 1 verb - 1 option - Object Pronoun must go in front of the verb
- 2 verbs - 2 options - a. ) Object Pronouns can go in front of the verb. b.) Object Pronoun can go attached to the end of the 2nd verb.
- People are more important than things so..... Indirect Object Pronouns Go before Direct Object Pronouns.
- " La la rule" - if the Object Pronouns both begin with "L" then change the Direct Object Pronoun to Se.
Indirect Object Pronouns
To/for whom
*Answer the question
* If there is an I.O in the sentence, there has to be a D.O. (sometimes its understood).
me
te
se - le
nos
se - les
When to use I.O.P's
*These are the pronouns used with gustar.
ex. - They bought me a car. - Me compraron un carro.
So compraron refers to what THEY bought and the ME before refers to whom they bought the car for (me). The translation literally would be... Me they bought a car for.
Direct Object Pronouns
*Answer the "What?" in the sentence.
* Usually things
me
te
lo/la
nos
los/las
Direct Object Pronouns
*Answer the "What?" in the sentence.
* Usually things
me
te
lo/la
nos
los/las
When to use D.O.P's
*These pronouns go BEFORE the verb and CLOSEST to the verb.
ver- to see
ex. - I see you - Te veo.
so..... Te refers to you, while veo refers to I see. The literal translation would be you I see.
When I.O.P's & D.O.P's are used together.
Remember the rules?
I.O.P's come before the D.O.P's!
ex. - Ella siempre me hace la cama para mí. - She always makes the bed for me. Next you replace the object with the correct pronoun. So.... She always makes IT for me. Ella siempre me la hace - or - Ella siempre hacemela.
En Español - Mi hermano tiene que cortar las verduras para mí papá.
In English - My brother has to cut the vegetables for my dad.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
i.o.p's before d.o.p's
replace object with me/te/le/nos/les and noun with lo/la/los/las.
