Example Question #1 : Direct, Indirect, And Double Object Pronouns In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun
“A ella no le gustan las fresas. Entonces, ella no __________ va a comer.”
Las
Los
Lo
La
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 #2 : Pronouns In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—"¿Compraste los libros?"
—"Si, __________ compré."
lo
los
las
ellos
la
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 #3 : Pronouns In Spanish
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—¿Quieres leer un libro a Marta?
—Ya estoy __________.
leyéndosele
leyéndoselo
leyéndolelo
leéndoselo
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.
