The direct object pronouns in Spanish are โme,โ โte,โ โlo,โ โla,โ โnos,โ โos,โ โlos, and โlas.โ
Like in English, a direct object in Spanish is a noun that receives the action of the verb. Itโs usually an object or person and answers the question โwhat?โ or โwhom?โ
For example, in โJohn buys a car,โ โcarโ is the direct object, as it receives the action of โbuying.โ We could also rephrase this as โJohn buys it,โ where โitโ is a pronoun.
We can replace direct object nouns with direct object pronouns in Spanish, too.
| Example with direct object nounย | Example with direct object pronoun | ||
| Spanishย | Englishย | Spanishย | Englishย |
| Marรญa compra una falda. | Marรญa buys a skirt. | Marรญa la compra. | Marรญa buys it. |
| Yo leo un libro. | I read a book. | Yo lo leo. | I read it. |
| Ella invita a sus amigos. | She invites her friends. | Ella los invita. | She invites them. |

Unlike the present tense in Spanish, the simple future tense is conjugated the same for verbs ending in โ-ar,โ โ-er,โ and โ-ir.โ

| Yo | -รฉ |
| Tรบ | -รกs |

| Ellos, ellas, ustedes | -รกn |
Nosotros comeremos en un restaurante. [We will eat in a restaurant.]
Nosotros viviremos en Espaรฑa en el futuro. [We will live in Spain in the future.]
