Los Complementos Directos = Direct Objects In Spanish, as in English, we can shorten sentences by replacing names and nouns with pronouns. Direct objects answer the question who? or what? after a verb. The direct object can be a noun (person or thing) or a pronoun. Are you going to see the movie? Yes, we're going to see it. Have you met my cousins? No, I haven't met them. One example is the direct object pronoun. Un complemento directo is what we call it in Spanish and it refers to a person or a thing. 1. Find the complemento directo in the sentence. 2. Replace it with a pronoun from your chart. 3. Add the pronoun before the conjugated verb (You will learn later in AVHS you can also attach it to the end of an infinitive.) More Examples: Read the following sentences, paying attention to the boldfaced words. Ana compra el vestido. (Ana buys the dress.) She buys WHAT? Ana lo compra. (Ana buys it.) Aldo prefiere las camisas azules. (Aldo prefers the blue shirts) Aldo prefers WHAT? Aldo las prefiere. (Aldo prefers them.) Luis quiere comprar los zapatos. (Luis wants to buy the shoes.) Luis los quiere comprar. (Luis wants to buy them.)
