    The document discusses direct and indirect objects in Spanish. [1] A direct object receives the action of the verb, while an indirect object is someone or something the action is done to indirectly. [2] Direct objects are identified by asking "what?" or "who?" after the verb, and indirect objects are identified by asking "to whom?". [3] Spanish uses object pronouns like "lo", "la", "le", and "les" to replace direct and indirect objects in sentences.

    Direct Objects

    Objetos directos
    A direct object is a noun, whether person or thing, that someone or something acts upon. In
    the simplest sentences, the direct object directly follows the verb, so it’s very easy to see the
    effect that the verb has on the noun.

    Tengo un perrito. I have a puppy.

    Conoce a Maria. He/she knows Maria.

    The direct object is the person or thing that receives the action of the verb in a sentence. To
    find the direct object in a sentence, ask Who? or What?

    Tengo un perrito. I have a puppy.

    Lo tengo. I have it.

    What do I have? A puppy.

    Conoce a Maria. He knows Maria.

    La conoce. He knows her.

    Who does he know? Maria.


    Indirect Objects
    Objetos indirectos
    An indirect object is a person that someone or something does something to indirectly. In
    the simplest sentences, the indirect object directly follows a verb + preposition, so it’s very
    easy to see the effect that the verb has on that person.

    Por ejemplo…

    Da unas flores a su amiga. He’s giving flowers to his friend.

    Hablo a José y a Ana. I’m talking to José and Ana.

    The indirect object is the person that receives the action of the verb in a sentence. To find
    the indirect object, ask "To whom?"

    Da unas flores a su amiga. He’s giving flowers to his friend.

    Le da unas flores. He’s giving her flowers.

    To whom is he giving flowers? – to his friend –> her.

    Hablo a José y a Ana. I’m talking to José and Ana.

    Les hablo. I’m talking to them.


    PRONOMBRES DE OBJETO DIRECTO E
    INDIRECTO/DIRECT AND INDIRECT OBJECT
    PRONOUNS
    Los pronombres de objeto directo e indirecto (Object pronouns -direct and
    indirect object pronouns) substitute the noun. In English these are: ‘me’, ‘him’,
    ‘her’ and so on. For example, in the sentence ‘Give Sam the pen,’ Sam is a noun,
    which can be changed to ‘Give her the pen.’ In Spanish the pronoun either comes
    before the verb as a separate word or after joined with the verb, when are
    used with affirmative imperative, an infinitive or a gerund. For example:
    Julio le da la pluma (he is giving her the pen).
    Voy a darle la pluma (I am going to give her the pen).
    ‘Dale la pluma’ (give her the pen).
    Estoy dándole la pluma (I am giving her the pen).
    Object pronouns in Spanish

    How direct and indirect objects work


    The majority of sentences have two objects. The direct object is the noun or
    pronoun on the receiving end of the action for example, ‘Pass me the pen’ – it is the
    pen here that is receiving the action (by being passed around). The indirect object
    is the person or entity for whom you (subject) are doing the action.

    In the above sentence the indirect object is ‘me’. Another way to say this would be
    ‘Pass the pen for me’. In English indirect objects are often indicated with the
    prepositions ‘for’ or ‘to.’ For example, ‘Explain the problem to us’ – the problem is
    the direct object while ‘us’ is the indirect object. With pronouns this is ‘Explain it
    to us.’ In the Spanish equivalent of this sentence the direct object is signified with
    ‘lo’ and the indirect with ‘nos.’ So it would be ‘explícanoslo’ – The indirect object
    goes first followed by the direct (or in other words ‘lo’ and ‘la’ go at the end).
    Explain to him the problem would be ‘Explícale (a él, a ella)el problema.’

    The LE, LO, LA rule


    If I were to say in Spanish (Give them to them) I would end up with ‘Daleslas.’
    These are far too many ‘l’ words for comfort. To avoid the Repetition of all those ‘l’
    sounds ‘le’ and ‘les’ change to ‘se’ when paired with ‘lo,’ ‘la’, ‘los’ or ‘las.’ So the above
    sentence would be ‘Dáselas.’ More examples ‘Explícaselo’ (explain it to her).
    ‘Prestárselo’ (lend him/them it).

    NOW MORE RULES ABOUT WHERE TO PLACE THE


    OBJECT PRONOUNS IN SPANISH

    when an indirect object and a direct object are found in the same sentence, the order
    will be next:

    the order of pronouns is: COI+COD+VERBO. with conjugated verbs, pronouns are always
    placed before the verb and these are separately.
     ¿Has visto mi bicicleta nueva? Me la (la bicicleta) han regalado por mi
    cumpleaños.
     ¡préstame tu libro! Lo siento se (a pepe) lo (el libro) presté a pepe.

    with the infinitive, the gerund and the affirmative form of the imperative, the
    pronouns are placed after the verb and form a single word.

    But if the imperative sentence is negative, then the COI and COD pronouns must go
    before the verb.

     Cuando hay un problema lo mejor es discutirlo (el problema)


     Los problemas, evitándolos no se solucionan.
     Esas llaves son mías ¡dámelas!
     Esa pelota es mía, ¡ No la agarres!
    with periphrasis and with structures such as: tener/poder/querer/ir a + infinitivo,
    pronouns can go before the conjugate verb or behind the infinitive, but never between
    them.

     Tengo que contarte algo.


     te tengo que contar algo.
     tengo que te contar algo.

     Quiero regalarle algo a tu madre

     Le quiero regalar algo a tu madre

     Quiero le regalar algo a tu madre

    Nota. here we have to name the indirect object so that there is no confusion with the
    second formal singular person usted.

    Ese vestido no me gusta

     Lo voy a cambiar
     Voy a cambiarlo
