Welcome to the forum!

Kindahl, this site has a helpful video that explains some of the direct and indirect object pronouns. It takes about 10 minutes to watch.

This is also a good lesson: smile Direct object pronouns

Often, it is desirable to replace the name of the direct object with a pronoun.

Example 1

Paul bought the flowers. He took the flowers home and gave the flowers to his wife.

Example 2

Paul bought the flowers. He took them home and gave them to his wife.

When the pronoun replaces the name of the direct object, use the following pronouns:

me (me) te (you-familiar) lo, la (him, her, it, you-formal)

nos (us) os (you-all-familiar) los, las (them, you-all-formal)
