Miniprueba Rudy Maxa + los objetos directos

The direct object is the noun or pronoun that the verb acts directly on.

The indirect object is the person affected by the action buy not acted directly upon. I write the message to my boss.

I write the message. Escribo el mensaje. Escribo el mensaje a mi jefe.

The message is what was written/influenced by/acted on by the verb.

My boss was eventually involved, but the verb didnt directly affect or contact him.

These generally translate to to a person or for a person meme, to me, for me

nosto/for us

teto/for you

leto you/Usted, to him, to her (for Ud., him her)

lesto/for ustedes (Uds.), to/for them

Like the direct object pronouns, these go directly before conjugated verbs. With compound verbs, they go before the entire verb or after and attached to the last word (the infinitive).

To whom do I explain the grammar? To the students.

Whats the substitution?plural, 3rd person--LES

Like the other pronouns, these go before a conjugated verb:

LES explico la gramtica.

Vamos a ver:

Yo compr la comida para mis amigos.

Yo LES compr la comida.

Tienen que dar la tarea a m.

ME tiene que dar la tarea. Tienen que darME la tarea.

El presidente explic el problema a nosotros.

El presidente NOS explic el problema.

Your mother went out shopping and bought fruit for everyone. Indicate for whom she bought each fruit, using the indirect obj. pronouns. Ej. Mam compr duraznos para l. Le compr duraznos (qu son duraznos?) 1. Mam compr manzanas para m. 2. Mam compr peras para nosotros. 3. Mam compr uvas para ella. 4. Mam compr una pia para ti. 5. Mam compr melocotones para Ud. 6. Mam compr una sanda para ellos. 7. Mam compr cerezas para Uds. 8. Mam compr fresas para l. 9. Mam compr bananas para Rodolfo. 10. Mam compr mangos para Sofa.

Te explico la situacin.

Le damos el dinero.

Leto him, to her, to Ud.

If the context has already been established, then using LE (or LES) will be clear. If not, or if there may be confusion, youll have to include the person or people that LE or LES is substituting for.

Hablo con Tito y Marco, y le doy mi nmero de telfono.

I talked to both of them, but to whom did I give my phone number??

Le doy mi nmero a Marco. A Marcos le doy mi nmero (word order is flexible.)

When LE or LES substitutes for Ud. or Uds., these personal pronouns are usually included because it sounds more formal or polite.

Le doy las gracias a Ud. A Ud. le doy las gracias. I give you my thanks.

S se puede!

Indirect me te le nos les +

Direct me te lo la nos los las When they come together in a sentence, they come in this order Indirect + Direct

what is explained-DO

El poltico explica la situacin a nosotros. to whom the situation is explained--IO la

nos

El poltico nos la explica.

El cocinero cocina la carne para t.

Rudy compra El Herald para m.

El hombre sirve los helados a nosotros

Why? Dunno (look up lelo if you have a dictionary.

So, le or les changes to SE

En el restaurante, el camarero sirve la comida a los clientes.

la El camarero se la sirve.

les

Hago un favor a mis amigos.

Ellos escriben unos mensajes a sus profesores.

El jefe compra rosas para las secretarias.

You still have the options of placing both pronouns before the conjugated verb (for clarification you would add the person at the end) El jefe se las va a comprar (a la secretaria.)

After and attached to the infinite is still an option. But you will have to add an accent on the vowel in the infinitive ending. El jefe va a comprrselas.
