In Spanish there are 8 direct object pronouns.
These words replace the direct object in the sentence. You
won’t use a DOP and the direct object at the same time.
AMV@MVHS
The 8 direct object pronouns are:
• ME
• TE
• LO,LA
• NOS
• OS
• LOS,LAS
Note how third person singular and plural agree in number with the object they represent.

But… you know Spanish is not as simple as changing one word
to another.
You have to know where the word belongs in the sentence.

There are four rules in regards to placement of DOPs in the sentence.
The great thing is that we’ve already talked about
them!
Remember the reflexive pronoun placement rules?

When you attach to the end of the participle, you add a syllable to the word, which messes with the natural stress.
The participle will need a written accent over the “A” in –ANDO or the “E” in –IENDO.

Command
Affirmative commands are when you tell someone to do something. Regular commands are formed by conjugating in
the “tú” form and dropping the “S”. Irregular commands will be covered later this year.
COMMAND
ALWAYS
Prepara .la cenaLA
AMV@MVHS
HOWEVER…
THEREFORE…
When the command is more than one syllable AND you attach to the end of the participle, you add a syllable to the word, which messes with the natural stress.
The command will need a written accent. Count back 3 vowels from the end (including the direct object pronoun) and you will be over the right letter MOST OF THE TIME.
