But “I told him/her…” would be “Le dije…”, not “Lo/La dije…”

my cat smells like catfood :
After some confusion, I found it was just easier to memorize the 15 most common verbs that required le and the 15 most common that required lo. That covers 95% of all conversations without thought and hits the 2 or 3 most common exceptions

Then you go to the countries where they have leisimo, and you start to question everything you know 🥴

jonah :
The complicated answer is weather or not him/her is the object of the sentence. Lo veo = I see him (him is the object of the sentence). Le doy un libro = I give him a book (the book is the object of the sentence, he is receiving the object, not the actually object itself)

People = le, objects = lo, la As an AP grader, I’ll tell you it’s not a big issue because of the wide variety of usage and ad long as they’re consistent, they’ll be good.

But also don’t really stress about it, native speakers (specially in the old country) say it wrong all the time. It is at the “whom” level of proficiency

Erin_if_you_please :
I think about it in terms of “to him/her/them.” That’s le. If that doesn’t work, it’s lo/la.

le could also be used in the same way that you describe lo/la; it’s a regional, cultural practice called leísmo

“Le”is also to show respect to elders for example

Le = to him/to her. That’s the easiest way I explain it to kids

I teach my students the RID rule! Reflexive, indirect, direct. Indirect always goes before Direct!

Agus Random :
it depends on the country, i use a lot the "le", mostrarle, enseñarle, le llevo a su casa, etc. I'm from Paraguay but a lot of people here use the "lo, la" too. It just depends, but i would say majority of the population here uses "le" more, so that's why it depends on the country i'd say

lo/la: what/who...verb receives action le: to/from whom...given, shown, or told something

Johnny :
Rule of thumb: “lo, la, los, las” are Direct Object Pronouns (DOPs) that answer “what?” or “whom?” after the verb. Example 1: I buy a car / I buy it with cash: Yo compro un carro / Lo compro en efectivo (what do you buy? A car). Example 2: I visit Juana / I visit her every day: Yo visito a Juana / La visito todos los días (whom do you visit? Juana). “Le/les” are Indirect Object Pronouns (IOPs) that answer “to whom?” or “for whom?” the action is performed. Example: I buy Juan the car: Yo le compro el carro a Juan / Yo se lo compro (when used together, “le/les” changes to “se” before “lo, la, los, las”).

Austin Lawicki :
I think the best way to explain it would be to give them a proper English lesson on the difference between a Direct vs Indirect object. They’re gonna be translating in their heads anyway, so understanding how it works in English will make sure they understand the equivalent in Spanish.
