What are Direct Object Pronouns?
I pronomi diretti italiani (pronomi diretti) sono parole che sostituiscono e fanno riferimento ad oggetti diretti in una frase.

They are used with verbs such as vedere (to see), conoscere (to know), chiamare (to call), sentire (to hear/to feel), volere (to want), comprare (to buy), etc.

Positioning of Direct Pronouns in the Past Tense:
Using Italian direct object pronouns in the past tense requires a combination of the auxiliary verb “avere” (to have) or “essere” (to be) with the past participle of the main verb, along with the placement of the direct object pronoun.
In a construction using the past tense and a direct pronoun the past participle of the verb acts like an adjective and must be modified to suit the gender and number of the object.
Dove hai comprato i tuoi libri?
Where did you buy your books?
You want to answer that you bought them in Italy last year.
First, identify your needed pieces of information.
The past participle of COMPRARE: comprato.

The correct direct ending for the past participle: i
Li ho comprati in Italia l’anno scorso.
