📝 DOPs en acción — Five examples in context
Seeing DOPs in real sentences reinforces two habits: identifying the gender of the replaced noun first, then placing the pronoun in the correct position. Work through each example and trace the gender logic before moving on.
| Español | English | DOP usado |
|---|---|---|
| Lo compro en el supermercado. | I buy it in the supermarket. | lo (replaces el pan — masc. sing.) |
| La veo todos los días. | I see her / it every day. | la (replaces la profesora / la película — fem. sing.) |
| ¿Los tienes? | Do you have them? | los (replaces los libros — masc. pl.) |
| No las como. | I don't eat them. | las (replaces las verduras — fem. pl.) |
| Puedes llamarme esta tarde. | You can call me this afternoon. | me (first person — attached to infinitive llamar) |
The DOP replaces the object — identify the gender of what is being replaced first, then choose lo / la / los / las.
