Spanish Grammar Explained /
It, them
This is what language would look like without pronouns:
My sister has two kids. My sister lives in Mexico. My parents talked to my sister yesterday, my sister said my sister was coming to visit.
Enter pronouns:
My sister has two kids. She lives in Mexico. My parents talked to her yesterday, she said she was coming to visit.
Thank you pronouns!
Back to Spanish:
In level 1.0, we learned that inanimate objects have a gender in Spanish. They are either feminine or masculine and so are the pronouns.
I like this T-shirt, should I buy it? → Me gusta esta sudadera, ¿la compro?
I like this coat, should I buy it? → Me gusta este abrigo, ¿lo compro?
| Article | | Pronoun (direct object) |
| Compro la sudadera. | → | La compro. |
| Compro el abrigo. | → | Lo compro. |
| Compro las camisas. | → | Las compro. |
| Compro los zapatos. | → | Los compro. |
