As I've stated before I love to use Duolingo as a source for learning as it is very interactive in learning the language. Well because Duolingos Direct and Indirect object pronouns aren't very great in the explanations they have a great forum and one person shared a great article on how to understand and learn the direct and indirect object pronouns.

I found a really helpful and catchy song to help learn indirect object pronouns and how to use them.

I really liked this article: https://www.realfastspanish.com/grammar/direct-indirect-object-pronouns
The reason being is that I found it very helpful that it went through all of the concepts in English, and then delved into the Spanish examples to reinforce what they had just discussed.

If someone has ever laughed at something you said in another language, it's possible you didn't quite have the pronoun or the word order right.

Switching the word order before you speak takes time you often don't have. Reviewing and practicing direct and indirect object pronouns in Spanish helps you use the correct words the first time.

Read our helpful guide to object pronouns below. Soon you'll be on your way to complete mastery of the Spanish language.

The Grammar of Object Pronouns

To understand object pronouns, we must first understand the individual parts.

The object of the sentence receives the action. In other words, not the subject, or whatever does the action. It's also not the verb, or the action itself.

The subject of the sentence is "Raul." He is doing the throwing.

"Threw" ("tiró") is the verb in the sentence. That is the action.

The object receives the action, in this case, whatever is getting thrown ("the ball," "la pelota").

Object Pronouns

An object pronoun is a pronoun used as the object of a sentence.

"Raul" is still the subject doing the action of throwing.

"Threw" ("tiró") is still the verb.

The new object is " it" (" la"). This is an object pronoun because the pronoun " it" (" la") replaces the noun " ball" ("la pelota").

The Spanish dude talks a little bit about object pronouns in the video below:
Take this example:
" Her" (" ella ") is the object pronoun because it receives the action.

Direct and Indirect Objects

In the examples above, all the objects are direct objects. Direct objects are directly affected by the action of the subject.

An indirect object is indirectly affected by the action. In the examples above, there is no indirect object. Here's how an indirect object works.

"Jonas" is the subject of the sentence. He is doing the sending.

"Sends" ("envía") is the verb, or the action.

Now we come to the objects. To determine the direct object, answer the question, "What is receiving the action?" In other words, what is getting sent?

The direct object of the sentence is "the box" ("la caja"). "The box" ("la caja") is what gets sent. It receives the action.

The indirect object is "Austere." " Austere " is the person who receives the box. She is indirectly affected by the sending. Something happens to her because of what Jonas does.

How To Use Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns In Spanish

As we learned above, an object pronoun is a pronoun that takes the place of a noun that is the object of a sentence. The same is true for direct object pronouns and indirect object pronouns in Spanish.

A direct object pronoun is something directly affected by the action (or whatever receives the action), referred to with a pronoun. An indirect object pronoun is something indirectly affected by the action, also referred to with a pronoun.

"It" ("la") takes the place of the noun "box" ("la caja"), so it is a direct object pronoun.

"Her" ("ella") takes the place of the noun "Austere," so it is an indirect object pronoun.

Now that we know how to use each pronoun, we'll learn where to place them in a sentence with a compound verb.

The video below will help you better understand it:

Compound Verb Phrases and Sentence Word Order

In a compound verb phrase, conjugate the first verb and the second remains an infinitive. When that happens, add the direct and indirect object pronouns in Spanish to the end of the infinitive (the second verb).

"To send" ("enviar") is the infinitive, whereas "needs" ("necesita") is the conjugated verb. "It" ("la") gets added to the end of the infinitive. Here's another one:

"Buy" ("comprar") is the infinitive, whereas "should" ("debe") is the conjugated verb. "It" ("la") gets added to the end of the infinitive.

When You Use Both Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns

So far, all the examples have had either an indirect object pronoun or a direct object pronoun. Yet there are situations in Spanish where both objects are present. Here's how to handle both objects in the same sentence.

Place both objects before the verb. The indirect object gets listed first, then the direct object, then the verb.

This gets a little more complicated when using both indirect and direct object pronouns in Spanish, along with a compound verb. Remember to place the objects after the verb in this case.

"You" ("te") is the indirect object, and "it" ("lo") is the direct object. Both get added to the end of the infinitive form of the verb ("decir").

When to Change "Le" to "Se"

When using both indirect and direct objects in Spanish in the same sentence, you may run into a situation where "le" and "la" are next to each other. This can be a real tongue twister. In this situation, change "le" to "se."

If you are writing, read the sentence aloud to see if you missed any tongue-twister "le lo" situations that should be "se." As with trying out idioms in another language, when speaking instead of writing, you have to be okay with making mistakes. You can't erase what you've already said.

Working Toward Fluency

When you use one object pronoun, it will be easier to translate. If you use both object pronouns in the same sentence, you may need a little more practice. Soon these object pronouns will roll off your tongue.

As with anything new, practicing will help you cement these concepts. Reviewing the terms listed here will help you understand direct and indirect object pronouns in Spanish. Try coming up with your own examples, too.

This Gringo Español video is informative and hilarious. "This is my least favorite subject in Spanish" :) He has a few sheets to fill out and I have already printed them out so that I can do some additional practice!

This is definitely going to take some practice. Here are the definitions and a youTube video that helped me...
Direct objects are the nouns or pronouns receiving the action.  Indirect objects are the nouns or pronouns affected by the action. They are the recipients of the direct objects.

I am just trying to figure out all this pronoun placement.  It is very confusion to me to put the indirect pronoun before the verb.  I found a website with lots of examples, which is what I need to learn.

I haven't used rocket languages before, but they seem to have a lot of different Spanish lessons broken down in an easy to understand format. Jason already spoke to this, but they show plenty of different examples of how and when to use different direct and indirect pronouns.

I really like the Rocket Languages lessons because of the numerous examples of each, mixing singular and plural forms throughout.

This was a great YouTube clip that shows you where to place the direct and indirect pronouns in a sentence. The instructor breaks down the sentences in a blackboard setting that really helps to simplify things when showing why and where to put them. It's all about the placement which, can often be very confusing.
