This page provides practice exercises for identifying and using direct and indirect object pronouns in Spanish sentences.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using direct object pronouns and indirect object pronouns correctly.

---

🔹 Direct Object Pronouns (Section 1)

Direct object pronouns replace the noun that receives the action of the verb. In Spanish, they are:

- me (me)
- te (you - informal)
- lo/la (him/her/it/you formal)
- nos (us)
- os (you all - Spain)
- los/las (them/you all)

We match the pronoun to the gender and number of the thing being replaced.

Let’s solve each one:

1. ¿Vendes galletas de chocolate? → Sí, yo las vendo.
(“galletas” is feminine plural → “las”)

2. ¿Ella ve el coyote en el parque? → Sí ella lo ve.
(“el coyote” is masculine singular → “lo”)

3. ¿El Sr. Núñez compra dulces? → Sí, el Sr. Núñez los compra.
(“dulces” is masculine plural → “los”)

4. ¿Ellos trajeron la piñata para la fiesta? → Sí, ellos la trajeron.
(“la piñata” is feminine singular → “la”)

5. ¡Qué yo compré la pizza para todos? → Claro, que yo la compré.
(“la pizza” is feminine singular → “la”)

6. ¿Uds. vieron a la Sra. Peña? → No, nosotros, no la vimos.
(“a la Sra. Peña” = her → “la”)

7. ¿Vosotros buscasteis a Max y a Teo? → Sí nosotros los buscamos.
(“Max y Teo” = them, masculine → “los”)

8. ¿Prestan sus bolígrafos? → Sí, los prestan.
(“sus bolígrafos” = them, masculine → “los”)

9. ¿Quieren a sus mascotas? → Sí, las quieren.
(“mascotas” is feminine plural → “las”)

10. ¿Conduces el Ferrari de tu mamá? → Sí, lo conduzco.
(“el Ferrari” = it, masculine → “lo”)

🔹 Indirect Object Pronouns (Section 2)

Indirect object pronouns tell *to whom* or *for whom* something is done. They are:

- me (to me)
- te (to you - informal)
- le (to him/her/you formal)
- nos (to us)
- os (to you all - Spain)
- les (to them/you all)

Note: Sometimes we repeat the indirect object with “a + person” for clarity.

Let’s solve each one:

1. ¿Le das dinero a tu hermanito? → Sí, le doy dinero a mi hermanito.
(“le” matches “a tu hermanito”)

2. ¿Uds. les hablan a sus abuelitos? → Sí les hablamos todos los días.
(“les” matches “a sus abuelitos”, subject is “ustedes” → “hablamos” if answering as “we”)

Wait — let’s check: The question says “¿Uds. les hablan...?” so answer should be “Sí, les hablamos” if “we” are speaking. But the blank starts after “Sí,” and then has space before “todos los días.” So likely:
→ Sí, les hablamos todos los días.

But wait — maybe the student is supposed to use the same subject? Let’s look at structure.

Actually, looking again: Question is “¿Uds. les hablan a sus abuelitos?” → Answer: “Sí, ___ todos los días.”

If “Uds.” is the subject, then verb should be “hablan”. But the blank is after “Sí,” and before “todos los días.” So probably:
→ Sí, les hablan todos los días.
BUT — that would mean “they speak to them every day” — but who is “they”? The question was asking “you all”, so answer should reflect “we” or “you all”.

Hmm — this might be tricky. Let’s assume the answer uses the same subject as the question unless specified otherwise.

Actually, in many textbooks, when answering “¿Uds. ...?”, you can answer with “Sí, nosotros...” or keep “ustedes”. But here, the blank doesn’t include subject — just the pronoun + verb.

Looking at other questions, like #3: “¿Ud. le escribe textos a su esposa?” → “Sí, ___ textos a mi esposa.” → Here, subject changes to “yo” implied.

So perhaps for consistency, we adjust subject to match the speaker.

Let’s re-evaluate based on common textbook patterns:

In #1: “¿Le das dinero a tu hermanito?” → Answer: “Sí, le doy...” → subject changed to “yo”

Similarly, #2: “¿Uds. les hablan a sus abuelitos?” → If answering as “we”, then: “Sí, les hablamos todos los días.”

Yes, that makes sense.

3. ¿Ud. le escribe textos a su esposa? → Sí, le escribo textos a mi esposa.
(subject = yo → “escribo”)

4. ¿Mariana le da de agua a su perro? → Sí, Mariana le da agua a su perro.
(subject stays “Mariana” → “da”)

5. ¿Tus abuelos te regalan dinero? → Sí, mis abuelos me regalan dinero.
(“te” in question becomes “me” in answer because now “mis abuelos” are giving to “me”)

6. ¿Le prestas tu novela a Jorge? → Sí, le presto mi novela a Jorge.
(subject = yo → “presto”)

7. ¿Le das flores a tu mamá? → Sí, le doy flores a mi mamá.
(subject = yo → “doy”)

8. ¿Les sonríes a tus padres? → Sí, les sonrío a mis padres.
(subject = yo → “sonrío”)

9. ¿Le ayudas a Verónica con su tarea? → Sí, le ayudo a Verónica con su tarea.
(subject = yo → “ayudo”)

10. ¿Le habla Makenna a su caballo? → Sí, Makenna le habla a su caballo.
(subject stays “Makenna” → “habla”)
