1) Mapa rápido
me you him her it us them one / ones this/that (one) these/those (ones)
Pronombres objeto van después del verbo o de una preposición: Call me. · for them.
2) Pronombres objeto (uso básico)
| Sujeto | Objeto | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| I | me | She knows me. |
| you | you | I called you. |
| he | him | We saw him yesterday. |
| she | her | Do you like her? |
| it | it | I found it on the table. |
| we | us | They invited us. |
| they | them | Can you help them? |
Después de preposición: to me, for her, with them, about it, from us.
3) one / ones para evitar repetir el sustantivo
Se usan con contables cuando ya sabemos de qué cosa hablamos.
| Patrón | Uso | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| the + adj + one | Reemplaza un singular ya conocido | I want the blue one. (la playera azul) |
| the + adj + ones | Reemplaza un plural ya conocido | She bought the small ones. (los pequeños) |
| this/that one | Demostrativos en singular | This one is cheaper than that one. |
| these/those (ones) | Demostrativos en plural | I’ll take these (ones). |
| another one / a different one | Otra opción | Do you have another one in medium? |
| one of + them/us | Uno de un grupo | I liked one of them a lot. |
Uncountable (leche, agua, música) → no uses one/ones. Di some milk, some music.
4) ¿it/them o one/ones?
| Elige | Cuándo | Ejemplo |
|---|---|---|
| it / them | Referencia directa al mismo objeto(s) ya mencionado(s) | I have a book. Do you want to read it? · I bought the apples. Eat them. |
| one / ones | Misma clase de objeto, no necesariamente el mismo | I don’t like this shirt. I want a different one. · Which shoes? The black ones. |
5) Errores comunes
| Incorrecto | Correcto | Por qué |
|---|---|---|
| *I like she* | I like her | Después del verbo va pronombre objeto. |
| *Give to I* | Give me | Objeto → me; sin to si va directo. |
| *I prefer the blue* | I prefer the blue one | Debe reemplazar el sustantivo. |
| *I need one milk* | I need some milk | milk es no contable → no one. |
| *These ones are nice* (formal) | These are nice | En registro neutro, mejor sin ones en plural. |
