D.O.P.’s
In English and Spanish alike, we often use
direct object pronouns
in conjunction with commands.
For example:
 Help me!
 Open it!
 Tell her!
 Wake up!
The direct object pronouns are the same as
the ones that you are already familiar
with:
D.O.P.’s
Singular
Plural
me
nos
te
X
lo
la
los
las
D.O.P.’s
***Importante- If you use a direct
object pronoun with an affirmative
command, attach the pronoun to
the end of the command. Don’t
forget accent marks where
necessary!
Do it! - ¡Hazlo!
Help me!- ¡Ayúdame!
Wake up! (familiar) - ¡Levántate!
