Complementos Indirectos

Question

Hola! I'm working on developing an understanding of indirect complements and the like. I found example sentences and think I have come up with solutions to them. Either an explanation of what is wrong with how I am using them, or a website that will teach/show me the correct way would be great! OR, even confirmation that I have used them correctly Oh, also, I can't figure out how to add accents to letters, so if a letter is in ( ), it is accented Gracias!

• Pablo, ¿explicaste la lección a Juan?

• No, no le expliqué la lección.

• Celia y Ana, ¿escribieron las cartas a los invitados?

• No, no les escribimos las cartas.

• Miguel, ¿prestaste tus apuntes a Benita?

• No, no le presté mis apuntes.

• Vicente, ¿me devolviste la novela?

• No, no te devolví la novela.

• Estudiantes, ¿se dieron buenos consejos?

• No, no se dieron buenos consejos.

Answer 1

• Estudiantes, ¿se dieron buenos consejos?
• No, no se dieron buenos consejos.

The second line (or the response) should be...

No, no nos dieron buenos consejos. (They didn't give us good advice.)

Also, an indirect object pronoun must be used even if the indirect object is named (which is NOT done in English). You did not do this in any of the sentences that required it, but I will just show one as an example...

Miguel, ¿prestaste tus apuntes a Benita?

Should be...

Miguel, ¿le prestaste tus apuntes a Benita? (where le is a pronoun referring to Benita).

He should read Lazarus' explanation of the anticiipatory i.o.p. in articles like this one. http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/154773/-le-est-dando- - 0074b507, Sep 20, 2010
