Direct object pronouns in Spanish are placed before the conjugated verb or attached to an infinitive, gerund, or affirmative command. They replace the direct object noun to avoid repetition and clarify who or what is being acted upon in a sentence. Common direct object pronouns in Spanish include "lo," "la," "los," and "las" for singular and plural objects.

Why do you use direct object pronouns?
Direct object pronouns are used to replace the noun that receives the action of the verb in a sentence. This helps to avoid repetition and make the language more concise. For example, instead of saying "I see the book," you can say "I see it" using the direct object pronoun "it" to replace "the book."

When pronouns receive the action of the verb, they are in the accusative case. This form is used to indicate the direct object of the verb in a sentence. Examples of accusative pronouns include me, you, him, her, it, us, and them.

Direct objects: You use the objective case pronoun when it is the direct object of a verb (e.g., "She saw him").

Objects of prepositions: Objective case pronouns follow prepositions in a sentence (e.g., "The book is for them").

What is the correct usage for between she and you?
"Between you and her" (or her and you) is correct. The nominative "she" may never be the object of the preposition "between." "She" is used in a sentence to refer to the person who carries out the action . Example: "She plays the clarinet". "Her" is the direct object as in "He likes her" or the indirect object as in "Give the music to her". You would not say "Give it to she" or "He likes she". Neither would you say "between he and you" or " between we and they". The subject pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, they. They can all be used to denote who or what is doing the action. The object pronouns are: me,you,him, her,it,us, them. These are the forms to use with prepositions such as "between"( remember your question?), to, for, by,with,under, over, next to and so on. Please note that the pronouns "it" and "you" can be subject pronoun AND object pronoun.
