OBJECT PRONOUN
Definition:: It is a pronoun that is used as an object in the sentence.
Remember: A subjective or subject pronoun does the action and goes BEFORE the verb while
object pronouns go AFTER the verb.
OBJECT PRONOUNS :
SINGULAR: —> Me (first person) You (2nd) Her / him / it (third person)
PLURAL —> Us (1st) You (2nd) Them (3rd)

** No confundir con los possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their
Figura # 2

As we see the object pronouns receive the action of the word and can be direct or indirect objects. IN
Spanish this is understood as me, it is, we, os etc. . In english whenever there is a pronoun object should
be placed in prayer (as with thesubject pronoun).

Examples: imagine they see shoes and say, "I like". This in english is not I like or worse i like. First that I
like this incomplete since it was not says elo object.

- The prayer: i want to a kiss. —–> I want to give her a kiss. (Assuming that the object is a woman)
-I love him/her. (As we see no tacit and we should put "I" and also the objecto (in this case indirect) him
her or also it agree to the context.

THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE (= a, an)


As in English, the Spanish indefinite article is used before nouns referring to things being
newly introduced into the discourse. Articles function as adjectives; they precede the nouns
they modify and agree with them in number and gender.

Unlike the definite article, the indefinite article is used much less in Spanish than in English.
(See rules below)
FORMS OF THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE
    Singular Plural  
  Masculine uno1 unos2  
  Feminine una unas2  
1.*One is used only as a pronoun (one) (more on that); the masculine singular
article form is a: or*There is a book on the table; there is also one on your
desktop. 2.*The plural forms correspond to some, a few and sometimes to a pair:

 
 .*Following be before nouns referring to profession, nationality, religion,
or other status: or*I am a doctor and my wife is a lawyer or

 But: article is used when noun is modified:

 I am a good doctor.

Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch form the plural by adding - es.

 moss  mosses
 buzz  buzzes
 box  boxes
 dish   dishes
 church  churches
Exercise:  Write the plural of each of these nouns

 dress  brush  hex


 wish  class  fox
 cross  bench  bush
 ax  grass  mantis
 

Special Note:
If you add - s to such nouns as fox, bush, and bench, you will find that you cannot
pronounce them without making an additional syllable.  This is why such nouns form the
plural by adding - es.

SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUNS

DEFINITION:

The noun is the word we use to appoint the objects, people, to the countries, etc. Like the
articles, they have gender (male or female), and number (singular or plural). These
characteristics should coincide with the article. Substantive plural and substantive unique to
classify the substantive take into account the number (one or more than one). That is the
