Direct objects show who or what receives the action of the verb. To avoid repetition, use a direct object pronoun. Ex: I am watching the game. = Yoveo el partido. I am watching it. = YoLOveo.
Put the D.O. pronouns BEFORE a conjugated verb. Ex: Yolospego. = I hit them. Berguitamebesa. = Berguita kisses me.
Placement rules: • 2. They can also be ATTACHED to an infinitive, OR they can go BEFORE the entire verb phrase when there is an infinitive. Ex: I am going to hit them! = ¡Yo los voy a pegar! OR ¡Voy a pegarlos!
Affirmative Informal Mandatos (commands) • ***First, you have to think if the verb you want to use is one of the “EASY EIGHT.” If it is one of the “EASY EIGHT”, simply use that form: • Decir di (say, tell) • Tener ten (have) • Venirven (come) • Ponerpon (put, place, set) • Ir ve (go) • Ser sé (be) • Hacer haz (do) • Salir sal (leave)
***If the verb is NOT one of the “EASY EIGHT” , use the “Drop the “S” Rule.” : • Take the “tú” form of the present tense and drop the “s”. Yes, it’s that easy! • Speak Spanish! = ¡Hablaespañol! • Run, Forrest, Run! = ¡Corre, Forest, corre! • Play Soccer! = ¡Juega al fútbol!
Summary: • Steps to an affirmative TÚ command: • 1. Determine if the verb is on the “Easy Eight” list. If it is, just use the “Easy Eight” form. • 2. If the verb is NOT on the “Easy Eight” list, take the tú form and drop the “s.”
SECRET HINT: You could also just use the “ÉL, ELLA, USTED” form. It’s the same as the “tú” form minus the “s.” Tricky-tricky
