Personal pronouns for direct and indirect object
A direct object pronoun replaces a direct object in a sentence. A direct object is the noun that the
verb is acting on.
An indirect object is to whom or for whom an action is done. A indirect object pronoun replaces an
indirect object in a sentence.
* The indirect object goes before the direct object
* When le or les (indirect object pronouns) are followed by lo, la, los or las, the indirect object
pronoun will change to se. This is because it can be confusing and hard to say “le las”.
* Object pronouns can be attached to the end of a command or a present progressive phrase. When
you do this, you’ll have to add in accent marks to maintain the correct pronunciation/emphasis of the
syllables.
* Lo/la > geen personen and Le > people
