Spanish direct & indirect object pronouns Now that you’ve learned about direct and indirect object pronouns, what happens if you want to use them together? The sentences that follow are examples of both object pronouns being used together. The direct object is in bold, while the indirect object is underlined. • Does Hector give them to you? To refresh your memory, the direct and indirect object pronouns that you will use in combination are as follows: When you combine the direct and indirect object pronouns in a sentence, you have two options. • You can put the indirect object pronoun, followed by the direct object pronoun, as two separate words before the verb • You can attach the indirect object pronoun and the direct object pronoun onto the end of an infinitive (Note that you must add an accent on the infinitive ending to preserve the correct pronunciation.) In English, you can switch the order of the direct and indirect objects. Por ejemplo: The word “se” can refer to any number of indirect pronouns: him, her, it, them, you….

Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns Used Together Home / Grammar / Topic Notes: The written lesson is below.Links to quizzes, tests, etc. are to the left. Here are the direct object pronouns and the indirect object pronouns side by side: When you have both a direct object pronoun and an indirect object pronoun in the same sentence, the indirect object pronoun comes first. Ellos me los dan. Whenever both pronouns begin with the letter "l" change the first pronoun to "se." le lo = se lo le la = se la le los = se los le las = se las les lo = se lo les la = se la les los = se los les las = se las The reason for changing "le lo" to "se lo" is merely to avoid the tongue-twisting effect of two short consecutive words that begin with the letter "l". In negative sentences, the negative word comes directly before the first pronoun. No se lo tengo. Because the pronoun se can have so many meanings, it is often helpful to clarify it by using a prepositional phrase. Él se lo dice. She should explain it to me.Ella me lo debe explicar.Ella debe explicármelo.

Unique languages, universal patterns: Linguist reveals how modern English resembles Old Japanese You don’t have to be a language maven to find the direct object in a basic English-language sentence. Just look next to the verb. Take a simple sentence: “I gave a book to Mary.” Things look quite different in Japanese, however, where direct objects pop up all over the place, and are signified by the presence of a language particle, -o. To the chagrin of anyone who knows one of these languages but not the other, then, English and Japanese appear to be frustratingly different tongues governed by drastically different rules. In turn, the similarities between English and Japanese underscore a larger point about human language, in Miyagawa’s view: All its varieties exist within a relatively structured framework. “There is this very interesting tension in language between diversity and uniformity,” says Miyagawa, the Kochi Prefecture-John Manjiro Professor of Japanese Language and Culture at MIT. In this grammatical regard, at least, “Old Japanese is modern English,” Miyagawa says.
