Question

write two complete sentences in the preterit, using the words provided. For sentence a, use the indirect object pronoun and the direct object pronoun

Answer 1

To form sentences in the preterit with indirect and direct object pronouns in Spanish, you may say 'Ella me lo dio' and 'Él se las mandó,' each utilizing appropriate pronouns for 'to me' and 'it,' and 'to her' and 'them,' respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write two complete sentences in the preterit using the words provided, and inclusive of both direct and indirect object pronouns, we must first choose appropriate verbs and objects. For instance:

• Ella me lo dio (She gave it to me).
• Él se las mandó (He sent them to her).

In the first example, 'ella' is the subject, 'dio' is the verb in preterit tense, 'me' is the indirect object pronoun (to me), and 'lo' is the direct object pronoun (it). In the second example, 'se' stands for the indirect object pronoun (to her), and 'las' represents the direct object pronoun (them). This demonstrates the use of both kinds of pronouns in past actions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write sentences in the Spanish preterite tense ("pretérito perfecto simple" in Spanish), which is used to talk about actions completed at some point in the past.

For sentences "a", you have to use direct object pronouns and indirect object pronouns.

On one hand, direct object pronouns (''pronombres de objeto directo'' in Spanish) are used when you want to replace a direct object, which is a noun, so you do not have to repeat the noun.

On the other hand, indirect object pronouns (''pronombres de objeto indirecto'' in Spanish) are used when you want to say to whom or for whom something is done.

For sentences "b", you have to use double object pronouns (''pronombres de doble objeto'' in Spanish), which means that both an indirect object pronoun and direct object pronoun are used in the sentence. You change the objects for the pronouns: for example, in question 1: "Mario se lo prestó" (es decir, le prestó el suéter a su hermano).
