Grammar 3B - Actions done TO PEOPLE

Let´s move from recognition to production of this super useful structure!

OBJECT PRONOUNS

• me, te, le, la, lo, nos, les, los, las

• these are used to tell who (or what) an action is done TO

• they go BEFORE the verb

• example: I help you -- te ayudo

BE CAREFUL

Remember that the verb ENDING tells who DOES the action.

The OBJECT PRONOUN tells who the action is done TO.
