Mandatos y Complementos Directos Complementos directos can be placed: A. In front of a conjugated verb B. Attached to the end of an infinitive verb C. Attached to the end of a present participle (¡TILDE!) D. Attached to the end of an affirmative command* (¡TILDE!) *Importante* When adding a pronoun to the end of a command, we often have to add an accent mark to make sure the original pronunciation of the verb stays the same. Ejemplo: Step 1: Identify the direct object. ¡Laura, limpia tu dormitorio! sujeto: Laura verbo: limpia Step 2: Ask the two direct object identifier questions. Laura, clean who? No, I’m not commanding Laura to clean anyone! Laura, clean what? Your room! Thus, “your room” is direct object of the sentence. Step 3: Decide which pronoun to replace it with. tu dormitorio = singular/masculino = lo Step 4: Eliminate the direct object from the original sentence and place the direct object pronoun in the appropriate location. Laura, limpialo. Step 5: Add an accent mark if necessary. Cover up the pronoun with your finger. Count back two syllables and add the accent mark. Laura, límpialo.
