Keywords
Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person(s) or thing(s) receiving the action of the verb, when the meaning is 'to' or 'for' someone
Common misconception
Spanish word order is identical to English so I can translate sentences with indirect object pronouns literally from one language to another.
Spanish word order is different from English. Indirect object pronouns come before the conjugated verb. With 2-verb structures, they can go before the first verb or after the infinitive, attached to it.
Teacher tip
Students can deepen their understanding of Frida Kahlo's life and artistic expression by taking a virtual tour of La Casa Azul, her iconic Blue House in Mexico City, which can be accessed through the Frida Kahlo Museum's official website.
