​Double Object Pronouns

Part 1: Indirect Object Pronouns

How to use:

1. It is helpful to identify a direct object before looking for the indirect object. So...

2. Find the direct object (answers who or what?) Remember you have to have a direct object in order to have an indirect. Sometimes the direct object is implied. Ex. Decir- Yo le digo al niño. (What I'm telling is the direct object but it isn't explicitly stated.

3. Find the indirect object (answers to/for who or what?) The IO tells us where the direct object is going.

4. The placement for indirect objects is the same as for direct obejcts and reflexive verbs.

First let's take a look at some of the pronouns that we have learned so far.

Specifically- Reflexive, Direct & Indirect

Primero...Un repaso (First.... A review)

​	Reflexive pronouns	Indirect Object Pronouns	Direct Object Pronouns
1st person singular	​me	​me	​me
2nd person singular	te​	te​	te​
3rd person singular	se​	le​	lo/la​
1st person plural	nos​	nos​	nos​
2nd person plural	os​	os​	os​
3rd person plural	se​	les​	los/las​

Multiple Select

Looking back at the chart on the previous slide, which are the only persons where the pronouns are different?

• 1st person singular

• 3rd person singular

• 3rd person plural

• 2nd person singular and plural

Repaso- Reflexive Pronouns

• Reflexive pronouns are used when the action is being done to oneself.

• Reflexive pronouns are used to tell who the action is being done to (e.g. to myself, to yourself, to himself, etc)

• The reflexive pronouns are as followed: me, te, se, nos, os, se

Repaso- Direct Object Pronouns

• Replace the direct object in your sentence

• The DO receives the action of the verb - find your verb and ask the question "what?" or "who?" after the verb.

  • I bought a shirt for my mom. "Bought what?" - a shirt

• The direct object pronouns are as followed: me, te, lo/la, nos, os, los/las

Repaso- Indirect Object Pronouns

• Indirect Object Pronouns replace the Indirect Object.​

• The IO benefits from the action of the verb answering the question "to whom?" or "for whom?"

  The indirect object pronouns are as followed: me, te, le, nos, os, les

• ​Key words to find the indirect object are "a" (to) and "para" (for)

• ​Note: these are the ones that we use with Gustar & friends

Where can these pronouns be placed in your sentence?

• directly before the conjugated verb -- Lo compro, Lo estoy viendo

• attached to an infinitive- Vamos a lavarnos las manos

• attached to the present/progressive participle ("ing")- Estoy diciéndoles la verdad.

DOUBLE Pronouns

When you are using 2 pronouns at the same time, there is a certain order that must be followed.

​To remember the order of pronouns, use RID.

1. ​​Reflexive

2. ​Indirect

3. ​Direct

​Good news....

​You wouldn't ever have an instance of having ALL 3 types of pronouns in the sentence. Whew!

​

You just need to remember this order for the ones that are in the sentence.​

Ejemplos (Examples) - Note the difference

• She reads the book to me. She reads me it.

  • In Spanish, She ME IT reads.​ Ella me lo lee.

• Ana brings lunch to us. She brings us it.

  • In Spanish, She US IT brings. ​ Ella nos lo trae.

• ​Grandma makes soup for you. She makes you it.

  • ​In Spanish, She YOU IT makes. Ella te la hace.

• I cut my hand. I cut (MYSELF) it.

  • In Spanish, I cut MYSELF IT. Me la corté

• You wash your hands. You wash (YOURSELF) THEM.

  • In Spanish, You YOURSELF THEM wash. Te las lavas.

​Therefore, let's add "se" to the chart

​	Reflexive pronouns	Indirect Object Pronouns	Direct Object Pronouns
1st person singular	​me	​me	​me
2nd person singular	te​	te​	te​
3rd person singular	se​	le​ (se)	lo/la​
1st person plural	nos​	nos​	nos​
2nd person plural	os​	os​	os​
3rd person plural	se​	les​ (se)	los/las​

YoY

• When the indirect object pronuns "le" or "les" come directly before the direct object pronouns "lo, la, los or las", you must change the le or les to se.

• Ejemplo: I read books to you all. I read them to you all.

• Yo leo los libros a ustedes.

  • Incorrect: Yo les los leo. Remember: NO SINGING!!

  • Correct: Yo se los leo. OR Yo se los leo
