Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun
“A ella no le gustan las fresas. Entonces, ella no __________ va a comer.”
La
Los
Lo
Las
Explanation
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.”
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—"¿Compraste los libros?"
—"Si, __________ compré."
los
lo
la
ellos
las
Explanation
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."
Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
—¿Quieres leer un libro a Marta?
—Ya estoy __________.
leyéndoselo
leéndoselo
leyéndolelo
leyéndolose
leyéndosele
Explanation
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.
