    Direct Object Pronouns

    First of all you must remember that a direct object in a sentence is the person, event
    or thing affected by the verb. The main difference between the use of the direct
    object pronouns in Spanish and English is their placement. While in English they
    substitute the direct object (and its article) and are placed where the original object
    was, in Spanish this pronoun is placed in front of the verb, replacing also any article
    used with the object previously.

     Singular Plural
    Me (me) Nos (us)
    Te (you) Os (you [all])
    *Los/las (them:
    *Lo/la (him/her/it)
    masculine/feminine/neuter)

     *The pronouns 'le' or 'les' are sometimes used as direct object pronouns. Its
    use carry some subtle differences in meaning.
