Double object pronouns

In English The direct objects receive the action of the verb, and the indirect objects receive the direct object or benefit from the action of the verb. Rachel sent her friend some chocolate. What was sent? some chocolate (direct object) Who received the chocolate? her friend (indirect object) Direct and indirect objects can be replaced by the object pronouns me, you, him, her, it, us, you (plural), and them. When both objects are expressed as pronouns in the same sentence, the indirect object goes after to or for. Rachel sent it to her.

A

In the following sentences, circle the direct object pronouns and underline the indirect object pronouns. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Who gave me this present? Frank gave it to you. Who writes you letters? You write them to me. Who bought us this car? Your rich grandfather bought it. Susan came to see Anton. He did not know her, but offered her advice. Our mother saw our cousins and offered them lemonade. They thanked her. The waiter served you that meal. You gave him a tip. I brought you home in my van, and left it in the garage.

In Spanish The direct objects receive the action of the verb, and the indirect objects receive the direct object or benefit from the action of the verb. Raquel le mandó chocolate a su amigo. ¿Qué mandó Raquel? chocolate (direct object) ¿Quién recibió chocolate? su amigo (indirect object) Direct objects are replaced by the pronouns: me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, las. Indirect objects are replaced by the pronouns: me, te, le, nos, os, les. When a direct and an indirect object pronoun are used together, the indirect object pronoun (or the reflexive pronoun) always comes first. Change the indirect object pronouns le and les to se when used with lo/la/los/las. Raquel me mandó una flor. Raquel me la mandó. Raquel le mandó chocolate a su amigo. Raquel se lo mandó. Both pronouns are placed before conjugated verbs and before negative commands, but attached to infinitives, to the present participle, and to affirmative commands. ¿Estás mandándomelo ahora? No me lo mandes todavía. Tienes que mandármelo mañana. Mándamelo mañana Holt Spanish 2 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved.

Adverbs In English Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Adverbs are used most often to modify verbs, and as such can be used to tell: 1. when: Lucy arrived early. 2. where: I ate lunch over there. 3. how: He slowly turned around. 4. how much or how often: Cliff seldom sleeps enough.

Many adverbs that tell how an action is done are formed by adding –ly to the end of an adjective. In example 3 above, the adjective slow has become the adverb slowly. If the adjective ends in –y, the –y changes to –i before –ly. quick → quickly peaceful → peacefully happy → happily continuous → continuously

A

Underline the verb and circle the adverbs in the following sentences. Then, say whether the adverb expresses when, where, how or how often an action is done. 1. Peter speaks slowly and deliberately.

how

2. I woke up late this morning. 3. Our classmates study daily. 4. I will buy new shoes tomorrow. 5. The alarm clock rang softly. 6. That store must be somewhere nearby. 7. The thief answered the questions nervously. 8. Please leave your shoes here, by the door. In Spanish Adverbs are also used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Most often, adverbs are used to modify verbs. They can be used to tell: 1. when: Lucía llegó temprano. 2. where: Almorcé allí. 3. how: Ese animal come lentamente. 4. how much or how often: Cristóbal siempre duerme mucho. Many adverbs that tell how an action is done are formed by adding –mente to the feminine form of an adjective. In example 3 above, the adjective lenta has become the adverb lentamente. Notice that adjectives that end in –e or in a consonant just add -mente. rápida → rápidamente elegante → elegantemente inmediata → inmediatamente general → generalmente

Negative informal commands

In English An affirmative command tells someone to do something. It is formed by using the infinitive form of the verb (but without the word to). A negative command tells someone what not to do. You form a negative command by placing the word(s) don’t or do not before the command. Pronouns always go after. Eat your meal. Talk to your uncle. Wake yourself up.

A

Don’t eat so much. Do not talk in class. The coffee is cold. Don’t drink it.

Circle the verbs that express commands. Then indicate whether the command is affirmative or negative. Affirmative Negative 1. If you go to the gym, don’t forget your ID. ✓ 2. Be quiet! The teacher is talking. 3. I’m bored. Please take me home. 4. We are inside a building. Don’t smoke! 5. I like this show. Don’t turn it off! 6. Do not step on the grass. It’s wet. 7. Please tell me the truth. 8. Don’t go to the movies tonight.

In Spanish Negative informal commands are used to tell a friend or relative (someone you address as tú) not to do something. Use the word no followed by the verb form. For most –ar verbs, you form this command by dropping the final –o of the yo form, and adding –es. For most –er and –ir verbs, you also drop the final –o of the yo form, and add –as. –ar verbs: –er verbs: –ir verbs:

(yo) trabajo (yo) corro (yo) salgo (yo) duermo

➔ ➔ ➔ ➔

¡No trabajes! ¡No corras! !No salgas! ¡No duermas!

Don’t work! Don’t run! Don’t go out! Don’t sleep!

These verbs have irregular negative informal commands. dar ➔ no des ir ➔ no vayas ser ➔ no seas A pronoun in a negative command must go between no and the verb. Lee esta novela. Pero no la leas en la cama y no te acuestes muy tarde. Read this novel. But don’t read it in bed, and don’t go to bed too late. Holt Spanish 1 Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.
