Pronouns: Reflexive, Indirect, Direct

Class Goals: 

To distinguish between reflexive, indirect, and direct object pronouns and to combine them.

Class Activities: 

Write "pronombres" on board with three categories.

Reflexivos

Indirectos

Directos

Elicit from students what the pronouns are, and ask for examples of each.

Point out main categories of each.

Reflexive:
* subject and object are the same
* voz pasiva (¿Como se dice grasshopper en español?)

Indirect:
* verbs como gustar (encantar, fascinar, interesar, dar asco)
* verbos como: traer, decir, contar, pedir, etc.

Direct:
* replace direct object in a sentence

Students categorize sentences (attached) into three categories.
Go over together as a class.

Which ones could you replace with a direct object?
* Doy el libro a Pedro.
* No tengo las flores para ella.
