Direct+Object+Pronouns

====In English, //pronouns// replace nouns previously mentioned to avoid unnecessarily repeating them. For example, in the sentence, “John did not come to work, because __he__ was sick,” the pronoun he is used to replace the proper noun John .==== ====We have seen that pronouns can be used in the same way in Spanish. For example, the above sentence in Spanish would be: Juan no vino a trabajar, porque él estaba enfermo. The pronoun él replaces the proper noun Juan .====

__**Direct Object Pronouns:**__
Me- I Te- You Lo/La- Ust., El, Ella Nos- Nosotros Os- Vosotros Los/Las- Ustedes, Ellos, Ellas D.O.P.s- Direct Object Pronouns I.O.P.s- Indirect Object Pronouns media type="custom" key="2380809" ====There is another way in which pronouns are used: to avoid unnecessarily repeating the //direct object// of a sentence. The //direct object// is the object that the action in the sentence is happening to.==== ====For example, in the sentence, “ The cat ate the mouse ,” the “cat” is the subject, “ate” is the verb , and “mouse” is the direct object. If you wanted to replace the direct object noun with a pronoun, you could say, “The cat ate it .” The pronoun “it” would refer to the mouse.==== Here are some more Examples: Find the D.O.P.
