Direct objects and indirect objects in spanish

Direct objects Nouns will have WHO and WHAT?

For example WHO is bring and WHAT they are bringing.

Here are few examples :
1) Max brings the Phone to his Mom.

Who is bringing the Phone?
Ans : Max is bringing the phone.

What is he bringing to his Mom?
He is bringing the Phone.

Here are few more examples :

2) My husband brings me flowers.
3) I see you.
4) Julie see Marie.
5) Patrick rides the Horse.

In the above questions,
The Subjects are Max, My husband, I, Julie, Patrick.
The objects are PHONE, FLOWERS, YOU, MARIE, HORSE.

Now lets learn about Direct object pronoun.

Instead of telling directly who and what they are bringing, we will use It, he, she, them like that.

1) Max brings the Phone to his Mom = It.
Max brings it to his Mom.

2) My husband brings me flowers  = Them
My husband brings me them.

3) I see you.
I see you.

4) Julie see Marie = Her
Julie sees her

5) Patrick rides the Horse = It.
Patrick rides it.

Now let's learn in español.



En español

Me- me 
Te- you
Lo, la- it/ him/ her (singular)
Nos- us  
Os- you 
Los, las- them (Plural)

1) Max brings the phone.
Max brings it (el teléfono– masculine– lo)
Max lo trae.

2) My husband brings flowers.
My husband brings them. (las flores-feminine, plural-las.)
Mon marido las trae.

3) You see her.
Tú la ves.

Note that the pronoun goes IN FRONT OF THE CONJUGATED VERB.

____________________________________________________________


Indirect Object Pronouns are which answer the question- to/ for whom?

For example :
My husband brings me flowers. For whom? –me

He gives the gift to you. To whom? you?


En español
Me-  to/for me 
Te- to/ for you
Le- to/ for him/ her/ you formal
Nos- to/ for us
 Os- to /for you 
Les- to/ for them/ you all

My husband brings me flowers. For whom? –me
My esposo me trae las flores.

She gives the gift to you.
Ella te da el regalo.

Note- the indirect object pronoun goes in front of the verb.

_________________________________

Using both together, If a sentence has an indirect object pronoun and a direct object pronoun- the indirect object comes first! (an I looks like a 1)

Mi esposo me las trae. My husband brings me them.
(if you use le or les with lo/la/los/las- the le or les changes to se).
