How do you figure out what is the direct object of a sentence? First, you
must find the subject and verb. Then ask yourself who or what receives the
action of the verb. Whatever answers that question is the direct object.
Look at the following example below.
Yo (I) is the subject; visito (visit) is the verb. Now ask whom am I visiting?
The words mi abuela (my grandmother) answers that question.
Therefore, mi abuela is the direct object.
Remember: Every noun has a gender in Spanish, even things like books,
desks, and pencils. There really is no word for it in Spanish. You must take
this into consideration. The direct object pronouns you must use are listed
below. Study these carefully:
Yo
ab u
los
is
v
isi
t o .. .
m
.. Y o a
o v i sit
.
