The Direct Object, is the part of the sentence that directly receives the action of the verb. It is used to replace a person, animal or thing in the conversation or in the writing in order to avoid repetition; when they have already been seen in a sentence or external context where the statement occurs.

In this context the Direct Object pronouns are:

1st person singular: Yo me

2nd person singular (informal): Tú te  

2nd person singular (formal): Usted lo/la

3rd person singular: El/eso lo, Ella/esa la

1st person plural: Nosotros nos  

2nd person plural: Ustedes(In latinAmerica) los/las/Vosotros(In Spain) os    

3rd person plural: Ellos/Ellas los/las
