Direct Object Pronouns
The direct object is the what or who the verb “directly” acts upon.
For example:
- 📖 "Eu dei um livro à Ana." (I gave a book to Ana). If we ask the question “What was given?” the answer would be “Um livro” (a book), so the book would be the direct object of the verb.
- Eu vi o João (I saw João). If we ask the question “Who was seen?“ the answer would be “O João,” so João would be the direct object of the verb.
Direct objects can be replaced by direct object pronouns:📖 "Eu dei um livro à Ana" becomes "Eu dei-o à Ana" (I gave it to Ana).
