Pronouns in real sentences

Module 4 of the free Spanish course (CEFR A2, completed), lesson 20 of 30: The unit's mixed page: Me lo llevo (the shop line from Module 3 — now you know why). On this page: 9 words with their genders and respellings, the rule, a watch-out line and the audio — the study notes behind the workbook's QR.

Respellings follow the course’s say-it key; the stressed syllable is in capitals. Print this lesson’s flashcards (PDF) — the words on the front, the English and respelling on the back.

La regla · The rule

The unit's mixed page: Me lo llevo (the shop line from Module 3 — now you know why). Lo vi ayer. ¿La conoces? Los quiero. In the past the pronoun still goes first: LO vi.

Y también · And also

Before ir a + infinitive it goes first too: Lo voy a comprar. Conocer (to know a person or place) has one irregular form: conozco. Solamente means only.

Ojo · Watch out

In the past and the near future the pronoun still goes first: lo vi, lo voy a comprar. Nothing comes between the pronoun and the verb it belongs to.

Do it now — on paper

  1. Say all 9 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with yo lo vi ayer.
  2. Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
  3. Write two sentences of your own that get the watch-out line right, then the two practice pages of workbook lesson 20 in Module 4 are the written half of this page.

This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
