Stefaní me da un reloj./Stefani me lo da are they both correct?

Question

Hello,

I wasdoing writing section in Lession 2.3

The question goes as: "Fix the errors in the following sentences, then say them aloud. 1. Aaron lo le tiro. 2. Stefaní da un reloj a mí."

The answer sheet gives the following for the second sentence:

• Stefaní me da un reloj.

Can "un reloj" stay here as direct object instead of "lo" DOP?

I would think Stefani me lo da. is correct. Or are they both correct?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Stefani me lo da or Stefani me da un reloj are both correct , provided that in the first example, it is understood what 'lo' is replacing

Obviously, for Aaron lo le tiro, this needs to become Aaron se lo tiró (but im not sure if you're asking about this one so you may have already got that one right)!

Answer 2

Ahh, yes I forgot to change the IOP to se rather then le because of the double L rule. Thankyou.

But my question remains the same. I've just looked at it again and it definetely says tiro and not tiró. I have been going through the videos in chronological order and we have not yet touched upon the past tense. Why would it be brought up now? As in before we have been taught about it?

Oh, I've just checked the answer bit (I couldn't before) and it says "Aaron se lo tira". This makes perfect sense as its conjugated to 3rd person singular (he threw it) and it therefore agrees with the statement.

Where did tiró come from??

Answer 3

Odd. The writing section must have been altered during the last year. The lesson 2.3 sentences to rewrite are now:

1. José les tira las serpentinas a ellos.
2. Manuel le da un perrito a su hermana.
3. Celia apaga las velas del pastel de cumpleaños.

Aaron lo le tiro. - This is corrected to -----> Aaron le lo tiro (because the IOP comes before the DOP)

As adrob76 pointed out the corrected sentence would have to be "Aaron se lo tiró." putting the i.o.p. before the d.o.p. and changing the i.o.p. from le to se since it precedes a 3rd person d.o.p.

Answer 4

Tiró is not 1st person but 3rd person preterit tense. Aaron threw it.

Answer 5

I'm a little late here, but I thought it would be better to post on an existing thread rather then create a new topic. When looking at the 1st sentence I'm a little confused:

Aaron lo le tiro. - This is corrected to -----> Aaron le lo tiro (because the IOP comes before the DOP)

What confuses me is the meaning of the sentence, and why tirar is conjugated to 1st person singular. If the sentence is "Aaron throws it to ella/él/usted" then why is the verb in the yo form (I) ??

Probably really simple explantion! :S
