Example Question #12 : Spanish Essentials
Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun
“A ella no le gustan las fresas. Entonces, ella no __________ va a comer.”
Los
Lo
La
Las
Las
The blank requires the use of a direct object pronoun. The pronoun must agree in gender and number with the original direct object. In this sentence, “las fresas” is the direct object; therefore, the correct direct object pronoun is “las.”
Example Question #13 : Spanish Essentials
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—"¿Compraste los libros?"
—"Si, __________ compré."
la
las
lo
ellos
los
los
The direct object must agree with the noun that it replaces. "Libros" is masculine plural, and the correct direct object in the masculine plural form is "los."
Example Question #14 : Spanish Essentials
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—¿Quieres leer un libro a Marta?
—Ya estoy __________.
leéndoselo
leyéndosele
leyéndolelo
leyéndoselo
leyéndolose
leyéndoselo
The correct gerund of "leer" is "leyendo." This is due to the double-object pronoun; the indirect "le"-to her and "lo"- it (the book) are next to each other, so the "le" must change to "se." Indirect objects always come before direct objects.
