The direct object receives the action of the verb. In Spanish the direct object agrees in number and gender with the noun it is replacing. Please do your own homework, post your attempt and see if someone will help you or confirm that you are correct. Thanks.

Direct object pronouns (me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, las) {Beta} Overview
Direct objects are nouns which receive the action of a verb in a sentence. Direct object pronouns replace that noun (and also noun phrases and nominalized clauses). Just like personal (subject) pronouns replace the subject noun in a sentence, direct object pronouns replace the direct object noun in a sentence which can be a person or a thing.
Singular Plural 1st person me (me) nos (us) 2nd person te (you, familiar) os (you, familiar plural) 3rd person lo, la (it, him, her, you formal) los, las (them, you, formal plural) The direct object of a sentence can be an object:
- Sandra tiró la pelota. - Sandra threw the ball.
La pelota receives the action of tiró. La pelota is the direct object of the sentence. It is singular and feminine, and since it represents an inanimate object, it is in the 3rd person, therefore, you can replace it with the direct object pronoun la. Sandra la tiró. - Sandra threw it. - Los niños leen muchos libros. - The boys read lots of books.
Muchos libros receives the action of leen. It is plural, masculine, and 3rd person, so it can be replaced with the direct object pronoun los. Los niños los leen. The direct object of a sentence can also be a person:
They called us - Nos llamaron. I love you. - Te quiero.
