    Study Notes

    Direct Object Pronouns

    • Direct object pronouns in Spanish are "lo" and "la" for singular objects and "los" and "las" for plural objects.
    • They function to replace nouns that have been previously mentioned in conversation or text.

    Placement of Pronouns in Commands

    • When using a direct object pronoun in affirmative commands, attach it to the end of the verb.
    • Example: “¡Cómela!” translates to “Eat it!”, with the accent on the "e" indicating the command form.
    • Remember to count back two vowels from the pronoun to place the accent correctly.

    Placement of Pronouns in Statements

    • In a declarative sentence, the direct object pronoun is placed before the conjugated verb.
    • Example: "She eats it." translates to "Ella la come."

    Definition of Direct Object Pronouns

    • Direct object pronouns serve to replace specific nouns that are already known to the speaker and listener, simplifying sentences and avoiding repetition.

    Irregular Commands

    • Important verbs with irregular command forms include:
      • Ser: sé
      • Hacer: haz
      • Poner: pon
      • Tener: ten
      • Salir: sal
      • Venir: ven
      • Ir: ve
      • Decir: di

    Negation of Commands

    • To form negative commands, change the verb ending to the opposite ending.
    • For example, "hablar" changes to "no hables" instead of maintaining the original form "hablas."
