Ir + a + infinitve. Direct object pronouns

Question

She is going to teach us. They are going to vacuum the bedroom. You are going to write a book. You all (informal) are going to decorate the ktichen and living room.

Answer 1

Q:

I was curious about the enseñarnos since enseñar takes an "a".

Not necessarily. Consider the following sentence:

-¿Sabéis conducir?

-No, pero ella va a enseñarnos.

This is correct. "A conducir" is implicit (and omitted)

Would it be Ella va a enseñar a nosotros?

No, it would not.

Or does that only apply to: Ella"Va a enseñarnos a cocinar" ?

Indeed, this is more like it.

More examples that don't take the "a":

Va a enseñarnos su casa.

Va a enseñarnos las bases de la materia.

Va a enseñarnos cómo hacerlo.

Va a enseñarnos mucho.

Va a enseñarnos + a+ infinitive

Answer 2

Not sure what you are asking.

[Ella] va a instruirnos.

[Ellos} van a pasar la aspiradora por el dormitorio.

{Tú] vas a escribir un libro.

[Vosotros] vais a decorar la cocina y la sala de estar.

What about the d.o.p.'s?

Can't read nor type. - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2011

Just a suggestion, Q, I'd prefer "decorar" rather than "adornar". Not exactly the same thing. - cogumela, Sep 9, 2011

OK, can't think, read, nor type. - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2011

Hehehe! - cogumela, Sep 9, 2011

Answer 3

Ella va a enseñarnos. Ellos van a aspirar la habitación. Tú vas a escribir un libro. Tú vas a decorar la cocina y la sala.

I was curious about the enseñarnos since ensenar takes an "a". Would it be Ella va a enseñar a nosotros. - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2011

Or does that only apply to Ella va a enseñarnos a cocinar.??? - 0074b507, Sep 9, 2011
