WEDNESDAY, Oct. 8 / SPANISH INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS. Cover information from the textbook: Ch.4 pp.54, 150. Write the information from those pages. Students will be able to use their notes from the textbook on the test. Go over rules / Class notes. Provide different examples using Indirect Object Pronouns (I.O.P). Go over sentences using I.O.P. Complete the exercises to practice the material. Watch the videos. HOMEWORK: Go over the material covered in class today. Complete the work from class.
Lesson for Indirect Object Pronouns:
An indirect object pronoun tells to whom or for whom an action is done. In English, these pronouns are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them. To identify an indirect object pronoun, first find the verb and the direct object (what is acted upon), then ask "to whom?" or "for whom?" the action is performed. The answer is the indirect object.
I.O.P:
me (to/for me) te (to/for you) le (to for him/her, you) nos (to/for us) os (to/for you) (plural) les (to/for them, you) (plural).
How to Find an Indirect Object Pronoun:
Identify the verb: in the sentence.
Identify the direct object: by asking "what?" or "who?" receives the action of the verb.
Identify the indirect object: by asking "to whom?" or "for whom?" the action is done.
Example
"He bought me a present".
Verb: bought
Direct object: a present (bought what? a present).
Indirect object: me (bought a present for whom? for me).
Therefore, "me" is the indirect object pronoun.
"The teacher gave the students the test".
Verb: gave
Direct object: the test (gave what? the test).
Indirect object: the students (gave the test to whom? to the students).
Key Characteristics
Requirement of a Direct Object: An indirect object (and its corresponding pronoun) usually needs a direct object in the sentence.
Position: In English, the indirect object pronoun often appears between the verb and the direct object.
Purpose: The indirect object tells us the recipient of the direct object, essentially showing where the direct object is going.
