What can I help with?​

Review 3.1 study with direct objects

​

Review 3.2 study with personal a​

The personal a is used in sentences that have a direct object noun that refers to a person! There is NO English equivalent!

​

​The a personal appears immediately before any direct object noun that refers to a person. It can also be used with a beloved pet, but is not used with animals in general. It is not used when the direct object refers to a thing.

Compare:

Juanito ve a su amigo los sábados. Juanito sees his friend on Saturdays.

Juanito ve muchos programas de televisión. Juanito sees lots of television programs

1. Use the a personal in front of a direct object noun that refers to a person.

2. The direct object pronoun answers the question "what" or "whom." (When you answer "whom," write the a personal in front!)

3. Don't use the a personal when the direct object is a thing (or answers "what").

4. The direct objects alguien and nadie refer to people and use the a personal.

5. The a personal is usually omitted with the verb tener.​

​11. The present progressive.

12. Saber/conocer for a person?

13. I am going to sunbathe

14. How would you say it?​

​15. How would you say?

18. Keep the verb the same!

19. How do we say "I am thirsty"
