what are the direct object pronouns in the following sentence
Buena, hoy hacemos una ensalada de frutas, con naranjas, un melon y uvas. vamos a sazonarla con jengibre y menta. Aqui tengo las naranjas las he pelado y las voy a cortar en rodajas.
la tacked on to the end of the infinitve verb. Both of the occurences of las. Start to be thinking of to what these must be refering. What does a direct object do in English in relation with the verb?
These are direct objects:
(English) me = (Spanish) me
you = te
him = lo
it (masculine singular noun) = lo
her = la
it (feminine singular noun) = la
you (formal singular) = lo (masc.) or la (fem.)
us = nos
you (familiar plural) = os
them (masculine or masculine & feminine mixed) = los
them (feminine only) = las
you-all = los or las
These do NOT have stated or understood "to, for, at, from"
Sra
In this sentence, the direct object pronouns are "las" and "las".
To identify the direct object pronouns in a sentence, you need to look for the pronouns that directly receive the action of the verb. They typically answer the question "what" or "whom" after the verb.
In the given sentence, we have several instances of the pronoun "las". Specifically, it appears after the verb "he pelado" (meaning "I have peeled") and after the verb phrase "las voy a cortar en rodajas" (meaning "I am going to cut them into slices").
The pronoun "las" in both cases refers to the noun "las naranjas" (the oranges) and thus acts as a direct object pronoun. It represents the oranges that are being peeled and cut.
Therefore, the direct object pronouns in the sentence are "las" and "las".
