What are indirect objects in
English?
 They receive the action of the direct object.
 Answer the question: to whom? or for whom? the
action is done
 Examples:
 I give the backpack to Rosa.


Who is receiving the backpack? ROSA
The Indirect Object(IO) is the ROSA.
So what would it be in Spanish?
 Yo doy la mochila a Rosa.

I gave the backpack to Rosa.
Yo doy la mochila a Rosa.
Rosa is our IO
 Instead of always saying to Rosa, what could we change
it to?
 ~ Let’s put HER in there!
The Pros at IOs
 Here’s how we say replace those indirect object nouns
with their pronouns:
Indirect Object Pronouns

Plural
me ( me)
nos- (us)
te ( you- familiar)
os (you-all, familiar)
le (you-formal, him, her)
les (you, them)
Placing the Pros
 The IO pronouns accompany the NOUN it
modifies OR replace the NOUN. The pronoun
appears BEFORE the conjugated verbs.
Accompanies
 Mamá les da el dinero a José y Ana.
 Mom gives José and Ana the money.
Replaces José y Ana

Another Placing
 When an infinitive follows the conjugated verb, the
indirect object pronoun can be placed before the
conjugated verb or ATTACHED to the infinitive.
 Le voy a vender mi coche a Sara.
 I’m going to sell Sara my car.
Comes before the Conjugated Verb
 Le voy a vender mi coche.
attached
