Question 8

Using direct object pronouns

Answer 8

la, lo, las, los are pronouns; they replace a nounce (thing or person) used as the direct object in the sentence
1. Direct object pronouns must agree in gender and number with the noun it is replacing
2. The direct object pronoun is placed in front of the conjugated verb

Question 9

Using indirect object pronouns

Answer 9

me, te, le, nos, os, les are used to indictate who benefits from or is affected by the action of the verb in the sentence; as pronouns they replace people, animals, or objects
1. Indirect object pronouns can use le or les to replace the formal forms usted and ustedes
2. Indirect object pronouns must agree in number with the noun it is replacing
3. The indirect object pronoun is placed in front of the conjugated verb
4. Pronouns are placed before the conjugated verb
5. Not all prepostions introducte an indirect object! Indirect objects are specifically the ones that the verb is doing something to or for
*In Spanish, it’s common to use both the indirect object pronoun and the indirect object noun it’s replacing in the same sentence for emphasis
*Sometimes when we talk about putting or attaching things on people, animals, or things, we still use the indirect object pronouns without the preposition
