O que você vai aprender

Mastering direct and indirect object pronouns. This chapter clarifies when to use 'mig', 'dig', 'honom', etc.

  • Object Pronouns
    If you are the receiver of the action, use the object form (mig, dig, honom, henne, oss, er, dem).
  • Direct Object
    Replace the noun with a pronoun to avoid repeating words, just like in English!
  • Indirect Object
    Use the object form of the pronoun (mig, dig, honom, henne, oss, er, dem) to show who receives the action.
  • Pronoun Placement
    Pronouns stay after the verb in main sentences, but hop before the verb after words like 'att' or 'om'.
