what are direct and indirect pronouns?

Question

I do not get the me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, and las. Can you please explain?

Answer 1

Are you asking for a definition? Direct objects answer "who" or "what receives the action of the verb. Examples: I see him. I see who or what? Him. "Lo veo." He knows us. He knows who or what? Us. "Nos conoce." They read it. They read who or what? It. Depending on whether "it is masc or fem, either "Lo leen" or "La leen."

The indirect objects tell "to whom" or "for whom" something is done. They are: me, te, le, nos, os, les. Examples: I give the book to her. "Le doy el libro (a ella)". She write a letter to them. "Les escribe una carta (a ellos)" They do a favor for him (Or they do him a favor): "Le hacen un favor (a él)"

Answer 4

direct object and indirect object pronouns are tricky. we use them in english, and once you can make the relation between the two its pretty easy. Direct object answers "what" or "whom" and the indirect answers "to whom" or "for whom". In english we could say "I gave the flowers to her" in spanish it would be "Le di las flores" where "le" is the indirect pronoun. If we wanted to include a direct object (this helps eliminate redundancy) of the same sentence it would be "Le di las" where "le" is the indirect again and answers "to whom" (in this case whoever her is" and "las" is the direct object and answers "what" (in this case flowers).
