There are some places where it seems to me it could be either le or les, since there is no way to know whether the indirect object is singular or plural.

¿Y tú les hablaste a ella también. Is wrong. "A ella" is the indirect object, so the indirect object pronoun must be "le."

Sí, _les hablé. This seems to be the reply to the question above? If so, it must also be "le".

Assuming this is a dialogue, it doesn't make sense in some places. I wonder if you don't need the singular pronouns "me" and "te" to make it work out? I think I could make sense of it that way. Are you sure you got that part of the assignment correct?

I think this makes sense:

Enrique, ¿te vio Carolina? Sí, ella me_ vio delante de la escuela después de las clases. Pero yo no le_ vi. ¿No __le_ viste? No. Luego ella ___**me** habló. ¿Y tú **le** hablaste a ella también. Sí, le hablé. Y _le invite. ¡ah! ¡Qué bien! Ahora no le tengo que escribir una invitación.

¡Buena suerte!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Can you post the English translation here so that we're sure of what you want to say?

Thanks.

I think she was just putting in the proper pronouns, and could only choose between le and les. - Goyo, May 16, 2010
besides the "le" and "les" there are some tense errors and a personal "a" problem. - --Mariana--, May 16, 2010
I agree. It's a tough assignment for someone when there are grammar mistakes in it that aren't supposed to be fixed. - Goyo, May 16, 2010
