Repeat: Pronombres de objeto directo.
Direct object pronouns replace nouns or noun phrases that receive the action of the verb directly. They help us avoid repetition and make our sentences more concise. Let's see some examples:
Yo veo el libro.
I see the book.
Repeat: Yo veo el libro.
Now, let's replace the direct object el libro, the book, with a direct object pronoun:
Yo lo veo.
I see it.
Repeat: Yo lo veo.
In this case, the direct object pronoun lo replaces el libro and still represents the book in the sentence.
Another example:
Ella tiene los lápices.
She has the pencils
Repeat: Ella tiene los lápices.
Now, let's replace the direct object los lápices, the pencils, with a direct object pronoun:
Ella los tiene.
She has them.
Repeat: Ella los tiene.
In this case, the direct object pronoun los replaces los lápices and still represents the pencils in the sentence.
Remember, direct object pronouns agree in gender and number with the nouns they replace.
