Direct Object Pronouns: pg. 1  \nIndirect Object Pronouns: pg. 2  \nReflexive Pronouns: pg. 3  \nR. I. D. (Reflexive, Indirect Object Pronouns, Direct Object Pronoun) : pg. 4  \nDirect Object Pronouns  \nme  \nte  \nlo  \nla  \nme  \nyou (familiar)  \nyou (formal), him, it masculine you (formal), her, it feminine  \nnos  \nos  \nlos  \nlas  \nus  \nyou (familiar plural, Spain)  \nyou (familiar and formal), them masculine  \nyou (familiar and formal), them feminine  \n➢ Direct objects are the receiver of the action and answer the question “who” or “what” in reference to the verb.  \nHilda lee el libro. Los niños comen la fruta. Él compra la cerveza.  \n➢ If the direct object is a person, a group of persons, or a pet, then the personal a must precede it. The words a and el together contract to al.  \nMaría baña al bebe. Antonio ve a sus niños. Yo oigo a mi madre.  \n➢ The direct object pronoun replaces the direct object noun to avoid repeating the direct object and is placed before the verb.  \nHilda lo lee. Los niños la comen. Él la compra.  \n➢ In the case of compound verb forms, the direct object pronoun may go either before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive form of the verb or the present participle. Upon attaching the reflexive pronoun to the present participle, an accent mark must be added to the stressed vowel.  \nVamos a ver a ella. Alicia quiere ver a él. Estoy limpiando los espejos.  \nLa vamos a ver. Alicia lo quiere ver.  Los estoy limpiando.  \nVamos a verla. Alicia quiere ver lo. Estoy limpiándolos.  \nReplace the direct object with the direct object pronoun, translating English to Spanish.  \n1. ) Tu primo ve a nosotros.    \n2. ) Mi tío visita a mi.    \n3. ) Ella visita a su amigo hoy.    \n4. ) Enrique toca la guitarra.    \n5. ) Sus parientes entienden la situación.    \n6. ) Tu sobrino cierra la puerta del microondas.    \nIndirect Object Pronouns  \nme  \nte  \nle  \nto/for me  \nto/for you (familiar)  \nto/for you (formal), him,  \nnos  \nos  \nles  \nto/for us  \nto/for you (familiar, Spain)  \nto/for you (plural), them  \nher, it  \n➢ An indirect object tells “to whom” or “for whom” in relation to the verb. Mi madrastra compra la ropa para mí . Escribo las cartas a la revista.  \nMi madrastra me compra la ropa.  Le escribo las cartas a la revista.  \n➢ In the case of compound verb forms, the indirect object pronoun may go either before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive form of the verb or the present participle.  \nVoy a cocinar paella para mi hermano y su esposa.  \nLes voy a cocinar paella. Estoy cocinando paella para ustedes.  \nVoy a cocinarles paella.  Les estoy cocinando paella.  \nEstoy cocinándoles paella.  \n➢ The indirect object pronouns must always be used even if the indirect object is stated. Use the preposition a to clarify le and les. Also use a mí, a tí, a nosotros/as, avosotros/as to place emphasis on the indirect object.  \nPepe regala flores a su madre. Tomas da el dinero a mí .  \nPepe le regala flores a su madre. Tomas me da el dinero a mí .  \nReplace the indirect object with the correct indirect object pronoun.  \n1. ) Mi novio da su tarjeta de crédito a mí .    \n2. ) Debo leer más libros a mis niños.    \n3. ) Tiene que limpiar la casa para su madre    \n4. ) Vende flores a la gente.    \n5. ) No dice nada a mí .    \n6. ) No doy dinero a ella.    \n7. ) A veces ella escribe una carta a ellos.    \n8. ) Estamos comprando una pulsera y ese arete para nuestra abuela.  \nReflexive Pronouns  \nme  \nte  \nse  \nyo  \ntú (familiar)él, ella, Usted  \nnos  \nos  \nse  \nnosotros/as vosotros/as ellos, ellas, Ustedes  \n➢ Reflexive verbs state what someone does “to” or “for” herself or himself.  \n➢ Reflexive verb pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence; they agree with the subject of the verb.  \n➢ When talking about parts of the body or articles of clothing, use definite articles such as el, l","cbCaiipKUUnNr4jC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiipKUUnNr4jC","pdf",302404,"English","# Direct Object Pronouns\n## Direct object explanation and personal a\n## Placement with compound verb forms\n## Practice: replace with direct object pronouns\n# Indirect Object Pronouns\n## Indirect object explanation and pronoun usage\n## Placement with compound verb forms\n## Emphasis and preposition a\n## Practice: replace with indirect object pronouns\n# Reflexive Pronouns\n## Reflexive explanation and pronoun agreement\n## Reflexive with body parts and articles\n## Placement in compound/progressive forms\n## Practice: translate using reflexive pronouns\n# R.
