Los voladores de Papantla
Los pronombres de los
objetos indirectos
Indirect object pronouns—to whom, for whom?

Another group of substitutions:

Me—to me Nos—to us

Te—to you

Le—to him, to her, to Ud. Les—to them, to Uds.


Explico la gramática a los
estudiantes.
To whom do I explain the grammar? To the students.

What’s the substitution?—plural, 3rd person--LES

Like the other pronouns, these go before a conjugated verb:

LES explico la gramática.


Simple enough, no?
Vamos a ver:

Yo compré la comida para mis amigos. Yo LES compré la comida.

Tienen que dar la tarea a mí. ME tiene que dar la tarea.

Tienen que darME la tarea.


El presidente explicó el problema a nosotros.

El presidente NOS explicó el problema.

Se usa los objetos indirectos
con el verbo gustar

Me gusta el verano. Summer is pleasing to me/Summer pleases me/I


like summer.

Singular thing that you like, singular form of the verb

Me gustan las vacaciones. Vacations are pleasing to me/I like vacations.


Plural thing
that you But it’s not all about you, and you can do more
like, plural than just like things.
verb
Word order in Spanish is
more flexible.

El verano me gusta.
The meaning is exactly the
same.

Las vacaciones me gustan.

Use this structure if it’s easier to see how the


verb relates to the noun in the first part of the
sentence.
First, the other people
Nos gusta comer. When you talk about what you like to DO, you use the
infinitive form of the verb, and and it’s singular, even if
it’s more than one action.

Nos gusta correr y nadar.


Un poco de confusión

Le gusta bailar. To whom does LE refer?

Sometimes it’s necessary to be redundant. So you’ll have the pronoun AND the
name of the person that the pronoun replaces.

You’ll need the personal A, the person’s name and the indirect object
pronoun. The word order is flexible.
Le gusta bailar a Laura.
Laura likes to dance [Dancing is liked
by Laura].
A Laura le gusta bailar..
p. 163 B
