Q

Direct Object pronoun

A

For example, if you say “I like the apple” and you want to substitute “apple” for a pronoun, you’d replace “apple” with the pronoun “it.” The sentence then becomes “I like it.”

A direct object pronoun is an object pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly.

For example:

I am buying a watermelon (direct object). → I am buying it (direct object pronoun).

He comprado una casa → La he comprado

Q

How to use Direct Object pronoun

A

Using direct object pronouns with people
When using direct object pronouns with people in Spanish, simply replace the person with the appropriate pronoun, matching the gender and number, before the verb.
* Tu hermano odia nosotros → Tu hermano nos odia. (Your brother hates us.)

Using direct object pronouns with items
Similarly, to use direct object pronouns with items in Spanish, just replace the item with the appropriate pronoun before the verb.

  • He comprado una casa → La he comprado

Using direct object pronouns in sentences with infinitives or gerunds
Now, there’s one exception to the rules above: When a pronoun is replacing an object that follows a verb in its infinitive or gerund form, it can be placed before the conjugated verb or attached to the end of an infinitive or gerund:
* Sentence: Estoy escuchando a* mi maestra. (I’m listening to my teacher.)
With direct object pronoun: La estoy escuchando. or Estoy escuchándola. (I’m listening to her.)

Q

Direct Object Pronouns vs. Indirect Object Pronouns in Spanish

A

Object pronouns are divided into direct object pronouns and indirect object pronouns.

So what exactly is the difference between these two types of object pronouns?

Well, a direct object pronoun receives the action of the verb directly. Going back to the watermelon sentence, when you decide to buy a watermelon, you’re directly buying it. There’s nothing between the action of buying and the watermelon.

If you say “I am writing an email to Laura,” you aren’t writing Laura, you are writing an email. The email will then be the direct object, but Laura will be indirectly affected because she will be receiving that email, so she’s the indirect object.

If we were to replace all the nouns with pronouns, we would get something like the following:

I am writing an email (direct object) to Laura (indirect object). → I am writing it (direct object pronoun) to her (indirect object pronoun).
