Direct Objects, the Personal  a , and Direct Object Pronouns (Los complementos directos, la  a  personal, y los pronombres de complemento directo)
A  direct object  is a  thing  or  person  that receives the direct action of the verb. I  eat   the tamales . Yo com o   los tamales . Óscar kisse s   his wife . Óscar bes a  a  su esposa .
Notice that direct objects that are  people  or  domesticated animals  (and sometimes personified things) are signaled by the p ersonal   a . Ó scar kisse s   his  wife . Óscar bes a   a   su esposa . More information about the personal  a  follows on the next slide. I walk  my dog  every morning . Paseo  a   mi   perro  todas las mañanas. Patriots love  their country . Los patriotas aman  a   su patria .
Ó scar  has a very pretty wife. Óscar  tiene una esposa muy bonita. We’re looking for an efficient secretary. Buscamos una secretaria eficiente. More on the personal  a Generally, the personal  a  is not used after the verb  tener . Nor is it used with a direct object that is an unspecified or indefinite person.
Alicia visits the doctor. Alicia visita  al  médico. Whom is Elisa calling? ¿ A  quién llama Elisa? More on the personal  a The personal  a  followed by the definite article  el  contracts to form  al . When the interrogative  quién(es)  requests information about the direct object, the personal  a  precedes it. The personal  a  must be repeated before each human direct object in a series. Visito  a  Emilio y  a  Lola. I visit Emilio and Lola.
A   direct object  is  a  thing or person that answers what or whom, respectively, in the following equation: SUBJECT + VERB +  WHAT  ( WHOM ) DIRECT OBJECT Yo com o los tamales Identifying a direct object
Pronouns  are particles (little words) that take the place of the obj e ct itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought the piano . Did you pay a lot for the piano ? Well,  the piano wasn’t cheap.  Can you play the piano ? Yes, and my brother plays the piano too.
Pronouns  are particles (little words) that take the place of the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . Notice how many times “the piano” was repeated. the piano the piano the piano the piano the piano the piano
Pronouns  are particles (little words) that take the place of the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . A better, more concise way is to use pronouns instead of repeating the noun over and over. Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought it . Did you pay a lot for ? it Well,  wasn’t cheap.  it Can you play ? it Yes, and my brother plays too. it
Direct object  pronouns  in Spanish, just as in English, take the place of the direct object itself, so that the direct object does not have to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated . . . ¿ Compraste el piano ? Sí, lo compré. ¿ Puedes tocar ? lo Sí, y mi hermano  sabe tocar también. lo
The direct object pronouns in Spanish are as follows: me te lo, la nos os los, las These are used exclusively These are used f or  people ( lo, la ) ( los, las ) f or  people  and   things
I  eat   the tamales . Yo com o   los tamales . Yo  los  com o . Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Now let’s see how pronouns replace  things  or  people  that are direct objects.
Óscar kisse s   his wife . Óscar bes a  a  su esposa . Óscar  la  bes a . Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Now let’s see how pronouns replace  things  or  people  that are direct objects.
Óscar  besa  a su  esposa . Notice that the personal  a  goes away when the direct object  noun  is replaced by a direct object  pronoun . Óscar l a besa . a
Óscar  l a   besa . or  after  an  infinitive  or  gerund  ( present participle ). (Óscar,  bésa l a .) Óscar  l a  va a besar. Óscar va a besar l a . Óscar  l a  está besando. Óscar está besándo l a . (except for  affirmative command forms ) ALL object pronouns are placed either  before  a conjugated verb PLACEMENT OF PRONOUNS
Direct object pronouns are commonly used in conversation when the object is established or known.  Again, this avoids needless repetition. ¿Dónde ves  a Jorge  y  a Sarita ? Where do you see Jorge and Sarita? Los  veo en clase. I see them in class. ¿Visitas  a tu abuela  con frecuencia? Do you visit your grandmother often? Sí,  la  visito mucho. Yes, I visit her a lot. Do not be misled into thinking that  los  and  la  in the above answers are the subjects of the sentences just because they appear in subject position.  The subject of both answers, which is of course  yo , is simply not expressed in these instances.
Be aware that object pronouns, just like verbs, must make a flip-flop transition when first and second persons are involved in the conversation. ¿Me vas a invitar a tu fiesta? Sí, te voy a invitar. ¿Nos puedes ayudar mañana? No, no los puedo ayudar.
In negative sentences, the direct object pronoun is placed between  no  and the conjugated verb. Adolfo no  la  va a llamar. Adolfo is not going to call her. But, again, as in affirmative sentences, the object pronoun may be attached to the end of the infinitive or present participle. Adolfo no va a llamar la .

2 direct objects, the personal a, and direct object pronouns

  • 1. Direct Objects, the Personal a , and Direct Object Pronouns (Los complementos directos, la a personal, y los pronombres de complemento directo)
  • 2. A direct object is a thing or person that receives the direct action of the verb. I eat the tamales . Yo com o los tamales . Óscar kisse s his wife . Óscar bes a a su esposa .
  • 3. Notice that direct objects that are people or domesticated animals (and sometimes personified things) are signaled by the p ersonal a . Ó scar kisse s his wife . Óscar bes a a su esposa . More information about the personal a follows on the next slide. I walk my dog every morning . Paseo a mi perro todas las mañanas. Patriots love their country . Los patriotas aman a su patria .
  • 4. Ó scar has a very pretty wife. Óscar tiene una esposa muy bonita. We’re looking for an efficient secretary. Buscamos una secretaria eficiente. More on the personal a Generally, the personal a is not used after the verb tener . Nor is it used with a direct object that is an unspecified or indefinite person.
  • 5. Alicia visits the doctor. Alicia visita al médico. Whom is Elisa calling? ¿ A quién llama Elisa? More on the personal a The personal a followed by the definite article el contracts to form al . When the interrogative quién(es) requests information about the direct object, the personal a precedes it. The personal a must be repeated before each human direct object in a series. Visito a Emilio y a Lola. I visit Emilio and Lola.
  • 6. A direct object is a thing or person that answers what or whom, respectively, in the following equation: SUBJECT + VERB + WHAT ( WHOM ) DIRECT OBJECT Yo com o los tamales Identifying a direct object
  • 7. Pronouns are particles (little words) that take the place of the obj e ct itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought the piano . Did you pay a lot for the piano ? Well, the piano wasn’t cheap. Can you play the piano ? Yes, and my brother plays the piano too.
  • 8. Pronouns are particles (little words) that take the place of the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . Notice how many times “the piano” was repeated. the piano the piano the piano the piano the piano the piano
  • 9. Pronouns are particles (little words) that take the place of the object itself, so that the object does not have to be repeated ad nauseum . . . A better, more concise way is to use pronouns instead of repeating the noun over and over. Did you buy the piano ? Yes, I bought it . Did you pay a lot for ? it Well, wasn’t cheap. it Can you play ? it Yes, and my brother plays too. it
  • 10. Direct object pronouns in Spanish, just as in English, take the place of the direct object itself, so that the direct object does not have to be repeated, and repeated, and repeated . . . ¿ Compraste el piano ? Sí, lo compré. ¿ Puedes tocar ? lo Sí, y mi hermano sabe tocar también. lo
  • 11. The direct object pronouns in Spanish are as follows: me te lo, la nos os los, las These are used exclusively These are used f or people ( lo, la ) ( los, las ) f or people and things
  • 12. I eat the tamales . Yo com o los tamales . Yo los com o . Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Now let’s see how pronouns replace things or people that are direct objects.
  • 13. Óscar kisse s his wife . Óscar bes a a su esposa . Óscar la bes a . Notice that third-person direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. Now let’s see how pronouns replace things or people that are direct objects.
  • 14. Óscar besa a su esposa . Notice that the personal a goes away when the direct object noun is replaced by a direct object pronoun . Óscar l a besa . a
  • 15. Óscar l a besa . or after an infinitive or gerund ( present participle ). (Óscar, bésa l a .) Óscar l a va a besar. Óscar va a besar l a . Óscar l a está besando. Óscar está besándo l a . (except for affirmative command forms ) ALL object pronouns are placed either before a conjugated verb PLACEMENT OF PRONOUNS
  • 16. Direct object pronouns are commonly used in conversation when the object is established or known. Again, this avoids needless repetition. ¿Dónde ves a Jorge y a Sarita ? Where do you see Jorge and Sarita? Los veo en clase. I see them in class. ¿Visitas a tu abuela con frecuencia? Do you visit your grandmother often? Sí, la visito mucho. Yes, I visit her a lot.
