3/4

Direct object nouns andpronouns answer thequestion what? or whom? inrelation to the verb.

Direct object pronounsreplace direct object nouns.These pronouns refer topeople, animals or thingsalready mentioned, and areused to avoid repeating thenoun.

Me me

Te you (singular, familiar)

O him, it

A her, it

Nos us

os them (masculine)

as them (feminine)

to express singular you as a directobject pronoun use voc or te.

Use o senhor or a senhora whenaddressing people formally

Brazilians usually place the direcftobject pronoun before theconjugated verb

o Roberto me levou praia.

The pronoun always precedes theverb in negative sentences, inquestions introduced by a questionword, after conjuctions such asque or quando, relative pronounssuch as quem, and after certainadverbs such as ainda, tudo,todos, s, and tambm

o No te compreendo.

I dont understand you.o Onde as compraste?

Where did you buythem?

o Acho que me ouviram.

I think they heard me.

o Ainda o temos.

We still have it.

With compound verb forms,composed of a conjugated verband an infinitive or presentparticiple, a direct objecft pronounmay be placed before both verbs,between them, or after both

o Eu no te quero ouvir.

I dont wnat to hearyou.

o Voc est me vendo agora?

Do you see me now?o O Chico vai levar-nos no

carro dele.

Chico will take us in hiscar.

The pronouns o, a, os, and aschange to lo, la, los, and laswhen attached to an infinitive, andthe infinitive loses its final r.

A written accent is required in arand er verbs.

o Voce quer experimentar ocasaco? Sim, quero

experiment-lo. Do you want to try on a
