Study Notes
Direct Object Pronouns
- Revisited the memory palace for direct object pronouns: la on the left, lo on the right, te in front, and me at the bottom.
- Introduced the word "nos" for "us" as a direct object (e.g., "ellas nos encontraron" means "they found us").
Indirect Object Pronouns
- Introduced a new scene with indirect object pronouns: le on the left, le on the right, te in front, and me and nos at the bottom.
- Indirect object pronouns are used when the action is performed for or to someone/something (e.g., "I gave him a book").
- Indirect objects are the recipients of the action in a sentence.
- If "him" can be turned into "to him" or "for him" in a sentence, use the indirect object pronoun "le" instead of the direct object pronoun "lo".
Key Points
- Direct object pronouns are used when the action is performed directly to someone/something (e.g., "they found him").
- Direct objects are the things/actions that receive the action in a sentence.
