LOS PRONOMBRES…Directo e indirecto

WHAT ARE PRONOUNS?

he/she… yo, tú, él/ella) Object pronouns replace the object in the

sentence… not doing the action (it, him, her….)

OTRAS REGLAS…

Pronouns are placed before the verb in spanish.

We sell it. Lo vendemos. However, you ‘can’ attach to an

infinitive or a present participle. Tenemos que venderlo. / Lo tenemos

que vender. Estamos vendiendolo. / Lo estamos

vendiendo. When must you attach?

If you have two pronouns back to back that start with ‘l’… the first one must be changed to ‘se’

We buy it for him. Se lo compramos.
