Read about Cristal’s outing to a very famous flea market in Madrid, Spain. Complete each sentence by writing the correct indirect or direct object pronoun in the blank.
TIP: First, identify the kind of pronoun you need.
Indirect object pronouns (me, te, le, nos, les) are used to say to whom or for whom something is done; they are also used with verbs like gustar.
Direct object pronouns (me, te, lo, la, nos, los, las) receive the action of the verb—they answer what or whom.
Then, choose the pronoun that agrees in gender and number with the noun that it refers to or replaces.
