Indirect Object
Pronouns
Los pronombres de objeto
indirecto
We’ve
seen three types of pronouns so
far:
In
Subject: yo, tú, él…
Reflexive: me, te, se…
Direct object: me, te, lo, la…
this slide show, we are going to look
at one more type: indirect objects.
What’s an indirect
object?
Complete these sentences:
Ms. Gallegos gave ___ a high five.
Bill Gates sent ___ a million dollars.
My parents bought ___ a Rolls Royce.
Julia told ___ the meaning of life.
So tell me the
answer!
Did you say something like?....
Ms. Gallegos gave you a high five.
Bill Gates sent me a million dollars.
My parents bought my little sister a Rolls
Royce.
Julia told the class the meaning of life.
Indirect objects
What
goes into those blanks is the
indirect object. The indirect objects
in these sentences are the people
who received something: you, me,
your mom, your best friend, your
best friend’s aunt’s mother,
everyone!
Indirect objects
Indirect
objects answer the question “To
whom?” or “For whom?” and are used
when you mean “to” or “for” someone or
something.
For example:
I delivered the mail. (To whom?)
I delivered the mail to my neighbor.
I did the favor. (For whom?)
I did the favor for my little sister.

What are the
forms?
The “indirect objects” are…
me > me
te > you
le > him, her, “Ud.”
nos > us
les > them, “Uds.”
You already learned these pronouns!
They are used w/ gustar and gustar-like
constructions…. fascinar, interesar,
molestar, etc.
You will notice…
…that
unlike direct object pronouns, the
indirect objects le and les are both
masculine and feminine. Sometimes, to
make clearer to whom they are
referring, they are accompanied by a
phrase that clarifies them. (e.g. Le hablo
a Juan. Le hablo a Paquita.)
¡Vamos a
practicar!
Complete each sentence with an appropriate
indirect object pronoun. The recipient for
each sentence is provided.
Remember to place all objects before a
one-word verb form.
¿Lo sabes?
[Recipient:
me] Mis padres ___
enviaron $100 para comprar un vestido
nuevo.
Mis padres me enviaron $100 para
comprar un vestido nuevo.
Otro, por favor.
[Recipient:
you] ¿ ___ enviaron tus
padres dinero también?
¿ Te enviaron tus padres dinero
también?
Muy bien.

anillo (ring) a Luisa.
Diego le compró un anillo (ring) a Luisa.
¿Me das otro?
[Recipient:

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!! –
DOUBLE OBJECT
PRONOUNS
In
all of the examples, there are two
objects. That is, someone is giving
something to someone. The something,
or object given, is the __________ and
the someone, or recipient of the action,
is the ___________.
DOP, IOP
Say what???
We
can use both direct and indirect
objects in the same sentence. …¡por
supuesto!
Double Object
Pronouns
“Tengo
que comprar un libro para la
clase de historia, pero no tengo dinero.
Mis padres me lo van a enviar por
Western Union.”
IOP
(Recipient): ____________
Recipient: me
DOP
(Thing rec’d.): ____________
Thing received: lo (el dinero)
I do!
Mis
padres me lo van a enviar por
Western Union.
Note that the indirect object precedes
the direct object.
Think “indirect, direct object”: I DO!
L+L=S+L
No,
this is not hardcore math! There is
a special rule about double object
pronouns that you will need to know: if a
sentence has two objects that both start
with L, the first one changes to SE.
Por ejemplo...
“Yo
envié una carta a mi hermano.”
You could say “Yo le envié una carta.” (I sent
him a letter.)
Or you could say “Yo la envié a mi hermano.”
(I sent it to my brother.)
Or you could also say “Se la envié.” (I sent it
to him.)
Note how the “le” changes to “se.” You
cannot say “le la envié” because both objects
starts with an “L” and that just sounds bad.
¡Practiquemos!
La
directora dio un mensaje a la
secretaria.
La directora ___ ___ dio.
La directora se lo dio.
IOP = se (la secretaria)
DOP = lo (el mensaje)
¡Otro, por favor!
Carmen
envió dinero a su hija.
Carmen ___ ___ envió.
Carmen se lo envió.
IOP = se (su hija)
DOP = lo (el dinero)
Uno más y
acabamos.
Mis
padres regalaron unos cheques a
mi hermana.
Mis padres ___ ___ regalaron.
Mis padres se los regalaron.
IOP = se (mi hermana)
DOP = los (unos cheques)
¡Ya está!
To summarize, here are the four forms you will need
for Spanish:
Subject
Reflexive
yo
me
tú
te
Él/ella/Ud.
se
Nosotros
