When do I use the pesonal "a" when necessary?

Question

Example: Llamo ???? mi madre. Veo ???? mi bicicleta. Esperamos ???? mis padres. Invitan ???? sus amigos. I am told that it follows a posession like tener but when i try and use it in a sentence it just doesn't make since to me. My Profesor says that it needs to make sense in English as well but to me it doesn' t. Please help me make sense of this before my finals because i'm just not getting it!!!!

Answer 1

Use the personal a when referring to people and you can also use it with pets. This is different from in english. For example in english you would say "I like him" but in Spanish you would say "I like to him." In your examples it would be Llamo a mi madre. Veo mi bicicleta. Esperamos a mis padres. Invitan a sus amigos. Check out this article for more information personal a
