theculturewarrior Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 basically, the indirect object and direct object is like this (and don't get discouraged if you forget it when you're talking to someone.) Direct object me ayudas.........You are helping me te ayudo.........I am helping you lo ayudas........you are helping him/it la ayudas.........you are helping her/it los ayudo.......I am helping them/you all las ayudo.......I am helping them/you all Indirect object me dices..........you are telling (to) me te digo...........I am telling (to) you le digo...........I am telling (to) you/him/her/it les digo..........I am telling (to) them/you all The direct object is always the more difficult one. Basically, you use the direct object whenever you can't insert "to" into the English translation. You can't say "I am helping to them." It doesn't make sense. The hard part about the direct object is remembering gender. Also, if you can say it like "I am helping [b]him[/b]." You can also say "I am helping [b]you[/b] the same way. It would be like "Lo ayudo." That's because it's kind of like talking to a king or queen, you would use the third person. more later............
