Un pronombre objeto va inmediatamente después del verbo, y ocupa el  lugar del complemento de la oración:  The car has a flat tyre 􀃆 Father is fixing  it.  Mother is looking for the children 􀃆 She is calling them  Detrás de las preposiciones también se usan los pronombres objeto: This letter isn’t for him , it’s for me POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES U
