Possessive Adjectives:
my=mi your (informal, as in the tú )= tu your (formal, as in Ud.)=su his/her=su our=nuestro, nuestra their=su your (plural, as in Uds.)=su
*Don't use an accent mark on the 'tu' or you'll make it say 'you' instead of 'your.' *'Nuestro' and 'nuestra' work like other adjectives in that they change based on masc./fem. nouns. *Add an 's' at the end of each to describe a plural noun. Example: mi libro, mis libros
Direct Object Pronouns:
me=me you (tú)=te you (Ud.)=lo, la him=lo her=la us=nos them=los, las you (Uds.)=los, las
Indirect Object Pronouns:
me=me you (tú)=te you (Ud.)=le him=le her=le us=nos them=les you (Uds.)=les
***Use gender to distinguish between 'lo' and 'la', and direct or indirect to know when to use 'lo'/'la' vs. 'le.'
Pronouns, pronouns, pronouns.
A noun is a person or thing, remember from grade school? A pro-noun is a word that substitutes for the real name of the thing.
The answer from Chapstik, above, is great, very thorough ...
Usando un noun: Yo quiero mi papa. Usando un pronombre: Lo quiero.
(I love my papa/I love him.)
Mi abuelo toma café de la mañana. El lo toma sin azucar.
El - he, lo - it (the coffee). You can stack up your pronouns as long as you've mentioned the noun first. Buena suerte!
Him: él (pronounced as looks) Her: ella (eya) Them: ellos or ellas (eyos or eyas) Their: su (pronounced as looks) Theirs: sus (pronounced as looks)
pronouns and it depends on how you're using them in a sentence.
El es bueno. He is good.
I saw him. Lo vio.
