Lo, La, Le, Se Lo: Spanish Object Pronouns exercises

Practise with the song. Listen to Sol and type the missing words, then choose the right form. The answers and explanations are at the bottom.

lo, la cena → la, los zapatos → los, las llaves → las. They stand for people too

Lo, la, los, las agree with the thing: el teléfono

“¿Juan? Lo veo mañana (I'm seeing him tomorrow). In Spain you may also hear le for a man (le veo); lo works everywhere.”

se lo, never "le lo"

le + lo

“se lo compro, se las doy, se lo mando.”
