This is the most helpful explanation of this concept I've ever seen! Thank you so much!! I'm part way through my 4th year of Spanish, and I even lived in a Spanish-speaking city for a decade, but this finally cleared things up for me!!!
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me
I am on the 4th week of learning Spanish on Duolingo (an ward winning phone app). Ran into the brickwall of indirect pronoun use in Spanish- till I ran into Prof.Jas. What an elegant lesson- especialy the clarity & brevity. Bravo !
Thanks so much!! I've been trawling the internet for the best explanation for indirect objects and this is definitely the winner! Thanks for the concise and clear explanation Prof!
Thank you!!!This video explained all my questions throughly and clearly, now I feel so much more confident about my final! This is one of the best Spanish tutorial video I've seen, thank you so much!!!
Wow, you are the best there are. I have been studying Spanish for 10 years now and this is the first time I am able to really grasp a lesson so easily. A big, bigup to you Sir. Well done, and thank you.
i have just begun studying Spanish and today i make my first attempt to construct a sentence thanx for this video and all the rest on youtube please keep them coming
Thank you for replying. In my opinion, the simplicity and straightforwardness of this presentation makes it a great tool. Will definitely recommend it to my students.
I'm living in barcelona, studying spanish for the first time and although my spanish teacher is so so sweet she took 45 minutes to explain that (she has no english knowledge which is great but not so great), Muchas gracias Prof. Jason!
I'm currently in SPAN102 and struggling with this topic. Your lecture REALLY helped clarify this for me. It was very easy to understand, especially since our book convolutes the lesson more than necessary. Thank you for the clarification in a way that was easy to understand!
This is an incredibly useful lesson and the white board format really helps make it easy to grasp. Before this lesson, I really had a hard time understanding who was doing and to whom it was being done. Finally, I get it. Thank you!
Professor, you have given me the hope that I CAN learn and speak spanish in due time! thanks for all the effort you have put in making these videos. They are really a big help!!! Thanks again!!! will be watching your videos until I have mastered the language myself :)
Professor Jason! Thank you so much! I am studying for my final tomorrow with my good friend Clayton. Clayton was skeptical but was easily won over by your superb teaching technique. Thanks for being awesome!!!
Profesor Jason: No es correcto que la preposición "para" inicie un complemento indirecto del verbo. Los complementos con "para" son siempre complementos circunstanciales o complementos de régimen. El complemento indirecto siempre va precedida de la preposición "a" y se deja sustituir solo por "le" y "les" ¡Excelente tutorial!
Hola Carlos, gracias por el comentario, y tienes razón. En realidad, lo que hago no es por error, por no saber, sino para ponerlo de forma que alguien que piense en ingles tenderia a imaginarlo. Pero tienes toda la razón, gracias.
Thanks Prof, that really was a good one. I had been having trouble with the word order but am now much more comfortable with it. I watched it a few times and will probably watch it a few more.
I'd spent months trying to wrap my head around this concept, memorizing charts... ugh. And because of this 10 minute video, I just "get it". Thank you!
Hello professor Jason. Firstly , thank you for such amazing videos. i have a few questions. I am learning Spanish from home and step by step , however , the tenses seem very formidable to learn owing to so many tenses and different conjugation unlike in English. So , are all the tenses important or can we make do with just a few of them ? Like in English , for speaking purpose , we do not use all the tenses, similarly, to be able to learn spoken Spanish , can you recommend a few must learn tenses or are all of them important? Looking forward to a reply from you. Thank you .
Just an observation: At 3:35, the inclusion of "nos" in the last sentence is NOT a direct object pronoun as stated here ("...in Spanish it is common, although redundant, to include them, sort of to anticipate them...") but rather an INDIRECT one. The wording at this point could very well confuse those who are trying to learn this tricky concept. Thus, a clarification about the word choice at this point could ease the learning process. Other than that, this is a simple yet GREAT presentation of the topic. Very useful. Gracias de una profesora de español.
Really good video. Simple explanation for a tricky topic. Would have liked a couple more examples like if the verb comes first in the sentence or what to do when there's 2 verbos such as Estoy buscando and or what to do with 'Me' y 'Tu'. Anyway very good video. Thanks
profe usted tiene toda la razón la única manera de que sea jose se los lee... es que no hubiese sido un cuento sino varios cuentos... el español es mi primer idioma y no tenia ni la menor idea de que el español fuese tan difícil... una vez mas le felicito de todo corazón, le exhorto para que siga cosechando éxitos en la lengua de cervantes...
@tashibb Good question, I thought I covered it in the video, but maybe not... LE / LES do not represent direct objects (in theory). So, EVEN people, if they are direct objects (I know him, I see her, I called them) should be represented by the DO pronouns: lo, la, los, las. In some regions of Spain, speakers engage in what is called LEISMO, substituting what should be lo/la for le.
Desde una class espanol, yo tratar de mi pregunta en espanol. Puedo escribir "haber" y "tener" lo mismo? (When is it more appropriate to choose Haber over Tener, and vice versa)? Thanks. Love your videos!!!
"Haber" is only used in Spanish as an auxiliary verb to form the perfect tenses (he hablado, has, hablado, etc. "I have spoken, you have spoken," etc.) or in the impersonal expression "hay" ("there is/there are"). It is never used to translate "to have" in the sense of "to own" or "to possess." For that, you use the verb "tener." "Tengo un libro." "I have a book."
I feel as though Spanish has punched me in la cabeza. After I complete my language requirement, I will be running back to the pearly gates of good 'ole inglés. Muchas gracias.
I'm sure you can. The personal pronouns (yo,tú,él etc) can almost always be omitted. They are often used for emphasis though, that's what I was told by my native-spanish teacher :) Btw. Very good video! I often forget about the whole idea of D.P and I.P. and I often go back to Your videos, they are so goood and helpful :)
It is very generous of you to post this helpful video on Utube. I just want to point out that you refer to the indirect object pronouns as direct object pronouns at the point where you start inserting them before the verbs.
Very well done, Professor. I would only add that "le/los/se" is also the indirect object pronoun that replaces "usted/ustedes," since the latter is technically still third-person, even though modern Spanish treats it as second-person (the true second-person plural in Spain, of course, is "os" for "a/para vosotros/vosotras."
hey professor jason..love all your videos. i was wondering if the direct object isn't something personal (to/for whom) but a place, i.e. "ellos traen los libros a la escuela" would (the school) still be considered the indirect object? thanks
@Elfavzla buena pregunta, pero de hecho no... y es un error común entre hablantes nativos (y claro! no-nativos, tambien!). Se = to them, a los niños... pero el LO se refiere no a los niños y sí al cuento, que es singular y masculino. Creo que algunas personas piensan más en las personas y por eso lo cambian a los, pero hay que dejarlo como LO, recordando que el pronombre SE es el que representa a las personas en estos casos (todos). Gracias por la pregunta! abrazos
@hypnotistchicken the only major goof is that in a couple of instances I say "direct" object pronouns when I SHOULD have said "indirect" object pronouns. Happens at about 3:35 and about 4:15, but it's 100% clear what I am referring to from the context of the statements. I label them correctly in the majority of cases, see: 1:48, 2:48, 5:53, 6:27, 7:23, 8:03, 8:16, and 9:30. At 5:15 I ALMOST screw up but I correct myself. Anyway, not THROUGHOUT, but a couple times, maybe 3 :)
Great video, I was wondering isn't there a accent mark on the o in Compro? I wasn't sure I've seen this word before and it had a accent mark on it I was just checking.
the past tense of yo compro would be "yo compré" (I bought). If you saw the verb with an accent mark over the o, then you probably saw the past tense "ella compró las flores".
Tommorow is my exam and although the camera quality is not good(as of that time) it came to me like magic and I understood everything about IOP and DOP.😊😊 Although I am 12 years late but it has really helped me😁
Great video, but I am still confused on this subject, as you said it is kind of redundant using these things, so what is the necessity of actually using them?????
This is the most helpful explanation of this concept I've ever seen! Thank you so much!! I'm part way through my 4th year of Spanish, and I even lived in a Spanish-speaking city for a decade, but this finally cleared things up for me!!!
glad it clicked for you :)
for me too. I didn't think I'd ever be able to understand it.
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me

Wow, you are the best there are. I have been studying Spanish for 10 years now and this is the first time I am able to really grasp a lesson so easily. A big, bigup to you Sir. Well done, and thank you.
Wow! All of your lessons cut right to the heart of the tricky issues I am dealing with while trying to learn Spanish. Excellent work!

You really break these sentences down in such an easy to understand way, it's like magic.

You've done it again, Jason. Great video that breaks it down perfectly with relevant examples.
Any chance of any videos in Spanish?
The best explanation. So clear and simple. Gracias profesor.
Thanks so much man! I have a Spanish test tomorrow and this helped a lot!

Thanks, that's been pointed out many times. Just a slip of the tongue, but I've corrected it with an annotation.
You are an awesome professor, I was really struggling with this concept and you made it suuuper easy. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
I´ve found this subject so difficult to understand and you finally make it so simple - muchas gracias!!
Exactly what I neeed, I've been struggling with the concept of indirect objects and their placement for some time. More videos please!
Thanks
You are AMAZING! You have helped me so much in my understanding of spanish! Thank you.
you teach it much better than my spanish 4 teacher.... thanks so much!!!! it helped alot!
very informative love how you write everything out on the white board its very convenient
Really good video. Simple explanation for a tricky topic. Would have liked a couple more examples like if the verb comes first in the sentence or what to do when there's 2 verbos such as Estoy buscando
and or what to do with 'Me' y 'Tu'. Anyway very good video. Thanks
Omg I was reading about this in my grammar book today and I didn't understand anything until I saw your video. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you very much Professor Jason! This is something I have found incredibly confusing up until now. You have made it so simple :)
Thank you so much as I am having problems with the direct object and indirect objects. This is making it a lot clearer.
You made this stuff so much easier to understand. Thanks!
thank you taking spanish online is so hard thanks for explaining in a way that i could understand
Seriously, i have never understood spanish so well! Thank you so much!

This is awesome. Thank you RUclips and Professor Jason.
Thank you for this. Pronouns are by far the hardest part of Spanish for me, and this made it much clearer.

I feel as though Spanish has punched me in la cabeza. After I complete my language requirement, I will be running back to the pearly gates of good 'ole inglés. Muchas gracias.
Is your cabeza ok ahora?
Thanks for taking the time to explain these thing Jason. I appreciate it.
I'm sure you can. The personal pronouns (yo,tú,él etc) can almost always be omitted. They are often used for emphasis though, that's what I was told by my native-spanish teacher :)

A gem of an explanation. Thanks you Professor J. You are the best. :)
@ykhanian these would both be LE. LE is for to/for him, her... while TE is for you only, when you are speaking directly with the person.
you teach very well!!!! i have a test tomorrow & this helped so much thank you!
Very well done, Professor. I would only add that "le/los/se" is also the indirect object pronoun that replaces "usted/ustedes," since the latter is technically still third-person, even though modern Spanish treats it as second-person (the true second-person plural in Spain, of course, is "os" for "a/para vosotros/vosotras."
Thank you Wonderful & Simple explanation. I just used to help tutor someone & refresh my memory at the same time. Great job.
All your video's are fantastic! What happened to your website?
That was the lesson that I really needed! Thanks so very much!
I wish you were my teacher at school. I actually learned something from this!!! Thank you!!!
hey professor jason..love all your videos. i was wondering if the direct object isn't something personal (to/for whom) but a place, i.e. "ellos traen los libros a la escuela" would (the school) still be considered the indirect object? thanks
In that example, "a la escuela" is what's called and adjunct. It's just a prepositional phrase that provides more information.
thanks professor.pardon me..i think i meant to say indirect object. :)
Very helpful, simple explanation but effective.
mucho helpful
muchas gracias profesor
explanation perfecta!!!
mucho mucho mucho
That was a good explanation. You really broke it down. Thanks!!!
has to be the best introduction on indirect and direct object pronouns... thank you for sharing.
Thank you for making a difficult subject easier to understand

you honestly saved me from my tears. i was literally crying bc i failed my quiz and now, i have hope.

Anyway, not THROUGHOUT, but a couple times, maybe 3 :)
Thank you so much!! very soothing, very direct teaching style, i liked it a lot
Finally! Someone explained it so I can understand. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I would be failing my Spanish 2 class if it wasn't for Professor Jason. Thank you so much!!
This is the best explanation! Muchos gracias!
Great video, I was wondering isn't there a accent mark on the o in Compro? I wasn't sure I've seen this word before and it had a accent mark on it I was just checking.

My test tomorrow morning should be significantly better now, thank you :)
tu hablabas antes español o que? es que te sale una voz normal wow es increible, hablas hasta mejor que muchas personas de por aca
Tommorow is my exam and although the camera quality is not good(as of that time) it came to me like magic and I understood everything about IOP and DOP.😊😊
Although I am 12 years late but it has really helped me😁
Perfectly explained. Thanks.
muy buen video para aprender español!! se lo agradezco
Gracias, Profesor. Yo comprendo la lección.
Great video, but I am still confused on this subject, as you said it is kind of redundant using these things, so what is the necessity of actually using them?????
A great explanation! Thank you Professor Jason!
Best teacher ever! Lol I finally understand with your explanation :)
very good video, thank you very much professor Jason.
I love this guy, if only he could show me a better way to memorize words.
Excelente explicación. Me encanto!
YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH NOW I WON'T FAIL MY EXAM THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
@Narutorcks1133 The entirely shortened form would be ¿Ya se lo devolviste? Se = a dona Marta, LO = el abrelatas.
Oh my god, thank you so much. You just saved my grade on my Spanish test on Thursday.
Thank you this explains the usage very well
Thank you so much! This is a great video and youve helped me to try and ace a test i have coming up!
