Examples � Hablar – hablando � Hacer – haciendo � Escribir – escribiendo � Estamos hablando. We are talking. � Estoy escribiendo. I am writing.

Irregular verbs and exceptions to the rule � If a verb ends in a vowel after dropping the infinitive add –yendo. › Example: Leer – infinitive (er) = Le so it becomes Leyendo � For stem-changing verbs, change the stem as usual and then add the new ending. › Dormir (o-u) – Durmiendo

How do you use direct object pronouns? � The direct object receives the action and answers the question “what? ” or “whom? ” › Bill hit the ball. Bill hit what? Bill hit the ball. › Sherry hit Bill. Sherry hit whom? Sherry hit Bill. � � The pronoun comes immediately before the verb in a sentence. Notice that if the subject of the sentence changes, this does not affect the direct object pronoun. › Juan la tiene. Juan tiene la pluma. = John has the pen. Juan la tiene. = John has it. ~The pen is replaced with the pronoun because it answers the what? in the sentence. ~ ~(What does Juan have? )~

Examples. . . Direct object pronouns are most useful when used to answer questions. � Q: ¿Tienes el libro de historia? Do you have your history book? A: Si, lo tengo. Yes, I have it. � Q: ¿Estás ayudando a Mari con la tarea? Are you helping Mari with the homework? A: Si, la estoy ayudando. Or Si, estoy ayudándola. Yes, I am helping her.
