What is an indirect object?

• An indirect object is “to/for whom” an action gets performed in a sentence.

• EX: I throw roses to clowns.

• Who gets the roses? The clowns do, they are in the indirect object of the sentence.

Try another one…• Cinderella does the

chores for her stepsisters.

• Write the Indirect Object on your whiteboard.

A simple trick

• The Indirect Object is usually preceded by to/for in a sentence.

• Same thing in Spanish, the Indirect Object will be preceded by PARA or A.

• Look at our sentence in Spanish:• La Cenicienta hace los quehaceres para sus

hermanastras. • Can you find the Indirect Object?

Did you notice…

• When you replace Indirect Objects with pronouns in Spanish we remove the A/PARA as well?

• You will also remove el/la/los/las/mi/mis/tu… and any other adjectives that describe the nouns you replaced.

Miramos un ejemplo

• Juan escribe una carta a su querida abuela cubana.

• When you use “HER” (LE) to replace his dear Cuban grandmother, the LE takes care of the whole thing.

• It’s a good idea to underline what you want to replace in sentences so you don’t accidentally include extra words.

One more thing…

• LE and LES as pronouns can be kind of vague if you don’t already know who you are talking about.

• Spanish speakers “clarify” third person vague-ness by adding in the Indirect Object again.

• EX: Le doy los chocolates a mi abuela. • I give the chocolates to my grandmother.

Page 20: Indirect Object Pronouns Everything you need to know.

¿Qué me dices?• That’s right, we take out the Indirect Object.• We replace it with a pronoun.• Then, we put it back in for clarification, or for

emphasis. • Clarifiers can be a + él, ella, ellos, ellas or any

persons name. • EX: Yo le doy un hueso a Wolfie.

Page 21: Indirect Object Pronouns Everything you need to know.

Adding on the clarifier…

• Makes no sense to us. Why take it off? If you are going to put it right back?

• Some things just require acceptance.

• Y ahora, les doy la tarea a mis estudiantes.
