Indirect Object Pronouns-BY:AUDRA

Hola Clase. Today we will be learning about...IOPS! What's that you ask? Well it's not IHOP but it is pretty sweet! An IOP is an Indirect Object Pronoun which is used to say "to whom" of "for whom" an action is done. Like I gave her a piece of chocolate (PLEASE NOTE:That example is not probable. I do not share chocolate. Ever.) =====



First we need to learn the different words used to talk about who is receiving the action... = = = =

= Indirect Object Pronouns: = Indirect Object pronouns may sound confusing and stupid but once understood you will be master of IOPs

Lets start with the basics: IOP anwsers 2 questions To whom and For Whom the action was performed The Indirect Object tells us what the Direct Object is going. Some sentences would not make sense if there were just an IO.

In some cases the DO is implied or understood; meaning that DO is not in the sentence. Ex: Bo told him. DO=it (understood) IO=him (Bo told it to him.)

Here are the actual pronouns Indirect Object Pronouns: **me** (me) **nos**(us) **te** (you-familiar) **os**(you-all-famliar) **le**(him, her, you-formal) **les**(them, you-all-formal) Place the pronoun before conjugated verb.
 * *Les and Le are problematic because they have multiples meanings such him, her, you-formal, them(Masculine), them (feminine), you-all-formal, so we could never find the correct pronoun out of context as the example shows: **

Ella le escribe una carta.

She writes him a letter.

She writes her a letter.

She writes you (formal) a letter.

This may happen so you put one of three because it does not say specifically, but should happen only because your teacher is lazy. This happened in my case, but i hope don't encounter any problems. Anyways, you remove doubt when there is an prepositional phrase, the prep phrase is added not for clarity but rather for emphasis. Example: There is no ambiguity or doubt in the following sentence. It can only mean one thing BoBison me da el dinero. BoBison gives me the money.

Here's Some Practice Problems: Answers on bottom of page 1.Jack compra flores para ella. Jack compra flores.

2.El mesero da el menú a ellos. El mesero da el menú.

3. Ellos dan una propina a mí.

Ellos dan una propina.

If you still need help ask a fluent spanish speaker that knows his or her grammar,just make sure its not some redneck or white trash that learned Spanish in college.( They will get you no where trust me i know from my own experience.)

IOPs maybe confusing and annoying because you also need to know DOs(Direct Objects) but its relief to know that most of he time you find an IO there is a DO in the sentence.

Keys things to remember:

. Practice Problems Answers: 1.le 2. les 3. me
 * The IO tells us where the DO is going.
 * The IO answers the question "to whom" or "for whom."
 * Sentences that have an IO usually also have a DO
 * Sometimes the DO is not stated, but rather is implied, or understood.
 * Prepositional Phrases are often used for emphasis
