How to use direct pronouns in Italian?

To be able to understand direct pronouns you need to know what a direct object is: 

A direct object is the direct recipient of the action of the verb - for example: Legge il libro - the book is the direct object. 

Verbs that take a direct object are called transitive verbs. 

We use direct objects to replace direct object nouns to avoid repetition in sentences: Lo legge. 

Here is a list of the direct pronouns in Italian: mi, ti, la/ lo, ci, vi, li/ le.

They are placed immediately before a conjugated verb - compro la frutta e la mangio.
