i know it is formal, but everytime i try to find a good explanation in grammar like where it comes from, why it is used etc. it jst doesnt give it. it just tells me where to use it.

i used to think it was him or her haha.. which it also is i guess,

could anyone give me some insight into this?

and if it is a girl do you say

la presento a mi amigo

does it refer to amigo, or the person you are introducing (the person u r talking to)

thanks! downer

Le presento a mi amigo

(A usted) le presento a mi amigo. Se lo presento.

La presento a mi amigo

Wrong!

Le presento esta señorita a mi amigo. or

Se la presento.

Se ( yo a usted/yo a mi amigo) la (esta señorita) presento.

you answer yourself (What?) --> Direct complement --> always is used la/las or lo/los

Asking yourself "What?" is not going to work with typically terciopersonal verbs like "gustar" - lazarus1907, Sep 29, 2010
