Italian direct and indirect object pronouns exercises

Build combined pronouns and practice direct, indirect, ci, and ne forms.

  1. Explore pronoun combinations

  2. Choose the right form

  3. Check the explanation

Make both replacements visible

Do il libro a Marco. → Glielo do.

Il libro → lo (what is given). A Marco → gli (to whom). Gli + lo becomes glielo, placed before the conjugated verb.

gli + loglielo

This builds the pronoun combination. Position and agreement still depend on the complete sentence.

Find what the pronoun replaces.

Ask what is affected, to whom something is directed, or which place or quantity is already understood.

Compro le mele. → Le compro.

I buy the apples. → I buy them.

Le mele answers “what do I buy?” Le replaces a feminine plural direct object.

Try it in context
