Tricks to differentiate the direct object and the indirect object
In this video I am going to explain some tricks to differentiate the direct object and the indirect object.
1.FUNCTION: Myths VS Directivity
CD: Thing or person on which the action of the verb falls DIRECTLY (the thing or person with whom we do something)
CI: Recipient of the action expressed by the verb that is received from the CD.
2. PASSIVE:
CD goes to S. PECIENT.
CI STAYS THE SAME
3. REPLACEMENT CD (LO, LA, LOS, LAS) - CI (LE, LES): LEISM allowed >> CONFUSION
Trick: LA
SUBSTITUTION:
- CD >> LA, LAS, LOS, LO / LE
- CI: LE / LES
4. HE IS ONLY FOR CI when we find CD + CI
LE / LES >> SE
5. IN OR REFLECTIVE AND RECIPROCAL: we can easily confuse them
TRICK
- Reflexive / Reciprocal alone without object on which the action of the verb falls: PRONOUN >>>> will be CD.
- Reflexive / Reciprocal with the object on which the action of the verb falls, that is, transitive with CD: PRONOUN >>>> will be CI.
In addition, on the web I have left you some printable exercises with their solutions so that you can practice what you learned in today's lesson.
