Le vs. Lo/La in Spanish - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

In this video, I explain the difference between le/les/lo/la/los/las in Spanish. This has to do with indirect and direct objects. I focus here on the differences between these two, because it is the most confusing part that I struggled to learn!

I have been stuck on the same Duolingo lesson for a WEEK. Thank you!

[@clearfruit7901]

Girl, don't use duolingo! Duo is not helpful

[@ChemWizKid87]

@@clearfruit7901 It's a pretty helpful tool actually. But I wouldn't rely on it solely. And clearly she's not cuz she's here!

[@MarteTorcende]

Thank you so much.. i am using doulingo and watching spanish series in Netflix. I am very confusing these words la,le,lo,las,los, etc.. now i know

[@TheAPC360]

you taught this so clearly in 5 minutes, thank you! i've been struggling with this for weeks with my spanish teacher 😞

[@terafreestone3596]

¡Excelente! You have a knack for making confusing things, plain and simple. Gracias señor. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@philsmith7398]

Cheers bud, a nice explanation!

[@laurierend]

Thank you for explaining this so clearly.

Thank u!!!

A very easy way of teaching a subject that is mostly trying using confusing gramaticalm terms... Thankyou

[@ChemWizKid87]

I think the idea to not focus on the grammar per se, is a really smart one. I doubt native speakers are thinking in real-time about whether they are about to reference a direct or indirect object I have to assume it's just pretty natural from the years of hearing it and, like you said, just knowing which pronouns tend to go with which verbs. I found this video to be pretty helpful. The idea that I was going to have to be conscious about whether I was about to use a d.o or i.o was troubling but this kinda put me at ease a little bit. Thanks!

Muchas gracias. Best explanation.

[@michaelharperspanish]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped!🙌

[@tommyg.9069]

I wish you would have provided a list of some of the verbs that always go with " le " -- other than decir.

[@ChemWizKid87]

Good call

[@budekins542]

Good lesson!

[@missrainee]

thanks sm very helpful!!

[@hiyacynthia]

This is very helpful. I didn’t even know how to ask the question to find out the answer. But now I get it and in fact, Spanish does this better than English I think

[@miac5801]

Very helpful thank you

Thanks Michael for the lesson, I have had many issues with direct and indirect object's mainly identifying which is which in conversation at speed. I have learned the grammar rules blah blah! and I have done many lessons and discussion with my one to one teacher but always, I am left still confused, however this time no. You have somehow found a really easy way to put the formula across that sticks and the trick with linking essential LE linked verbs is a gem. It's the first time I have heard of learning use of LE in this - grammar free way. Saludos Steve

[@xvpolk]

Very good

[@Spacebuddy-dm6ps]

Thanks a lot for this video, now I better understand Lo, La, and Le and now can get ahead of my classmates.

[@SahranHoliday]

He's recommending context over grammar rules.

[@EdwardWLTV]

I'm at the point in my studies, I just say all three and wait to be corrected. Maybe overtime I'll get it, but it takes too long to remember in the middle of a sentence while you are thinking.

[@wilsonphillips58]

When using the indirect object, how do you identify masculine or feminine le/les doesn't identify gender...

[@BB-st6mb]

Please explain the difference between cómele vs cómelo... Gracias

[@vincentmckee7407]

So “le and les” can be used for both masculine and feminine???

[@raleenvanschalkwyk6213]

Yes AMASSING''''

[@hiyacynthia]

But it’s hard to remember which one is which, le sounds it’s it ought be direct and lo indirect!! But it’s the other way around

[@katanaki3059]

I mix in se instead of le/les indirect pronouns. Can you help?

[@saeedbaig7885]

Good

Spaniards be like: “Le ha matado!” 😂

I wash the dog. I wash him. La bano. (?)

[@michaelharperspanish]

Lo baño!🙌 “lo” since it’s “him”. “La” is for “her”

[@theatomic430]

@@michaelharperspanish Oh duh, I was close, thanks. Duh. Thanks, great video. 💪👍

[@igornikonov9641]

That's funny actually. So le can be used for both musculin and feminine, add the fact that the Spanish typically don't use personal pronouns, and you will get that in a sentence like "he made a breakfast for her", it is actually not clear if a man or a woman made a breakfast, same as it is not clear for whom he or she made the breakfast😃. Must be quite confusing to speak Spanish

[@richardgates6768]

Still does not make sense to me

[@tremon3688]

Not even we can get it right 😅

I found you on KZbin. I'm already following on Instagram

[@DrunkenXiGinPing]

You have good instructions. But you need to improve the writing on the board. Your writing is too small and confusing!!!
