Notes Spn II - Direct Object Pronouns

Direct Object Pronouns:

When to use them?: Cuando quieres substituir el nombre de un objeto con un pronombre.

How to determine?: The Direct Object Pronoun is determined by asking yourself: What / who is the object being "verbed" in the sentence.

Example: Compraste las cerezas? --- What is being verbed? (the cerezas)

Step 2: Determine if the DO is masculine / feminine or singular / plural. (cerezas is plural feminine)

--- So then, pl / fem/ 3rd person --- We will substitute it with "LAS".
(Don't remember where that came from? check the chart)


Step 3: The rules

The rules are: the DOP must go BEFORE the conjugated MAIN verb - or AFTER an "-ing" (gerund - ando/iendo / yendo) or AFTER an INFINITIVE!

- Compraste will be a conjugated verb, so your DOP will go in front of what you want to say...
- Conjugate it correctly....
- Create answer!
- Si, las compré!
