Direct Object Pronouns
*Direct Object:
*In other words, it answers the question “_______” or “________” about the verb
*These can be replaced by pronouns.
*In English:
She buys the shirt.

She buys ____.
*DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS in Spanish:
(me) (us)
(you) (y’all)
(him, (them [m])
it [m])
(her, (them [f])
it [f])
*HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE DIRECT OBJECT OF A SENTENCE:
Ask yourself the following questions for each sentence. It helps to mark each part with the following symbols.
1. WHO is doing the action? 
2. WHAT are they doing? 
3. WHO/WHAT are they (verb)ing? 
*REPLACING THE DIRECT OBJECT WITH A DIRECT
OBJECT PRONOUN:
Yo quiero la camisa azul.
1. WHO is doing the action? ___________
2. WHAT am I doing? ________________
3. WHAT am I wanting? ______________
What pronoun would replace the D.O.?
[Rewrite]:
***notice the direct object (noun) is placed ________________ the verb, but the direct object pronoun
goes ________________ the conjugated verb!!
Now, let’s practice. (1) Mark the three parts of the sentence—subject, verb, direct object. (2) Rewrite the
sentence, replacing the direct object with the correct direct object pronoun.
Yo como un sándwich de jamón y queso. _______________________________
Ella lleva unas botas nuevas.
_______________________________
Nosotros queremos zapatos.
_______________________________
Ellos cierran la puerta.
_______________________________
¿Entiendes tú la pregunta?
_______________________________
*REMEMBER!! When there are two
verbs in a sentence, the first verb is ____________________________
& the second verb is ____________________________.
**When an infinitive follows the conjugated verb, the direct object pronoun can go either
1. _______________ the conjugated verb
OR
2. _______________ the verb in the infinitive.
*Ejemplo.
Yo quiero comprar zapatos negros.
OR
(1) Mark the parts of each of these sentences—subject, verb, direct object. (2) Rewrite the sentence in
BOTH possible ways—D.O.P. before conjugated verb and D.O.P. attached to infinitive.
Ellos quieren comprar gafas del sol.
Él prefiere comer hamburguesas.
¿Quieres beber un refresco tú?
