Spanish Homework missing phrase or word

I am trying to write the sentence based off the following instructions:

No son éstos Answer these questions negatively using demonstrative pronouns.

Ex: ¿Les vas a prestar esos programas a ellos? (those over there) No, les voy a prestar aquéllos. or No, voy a prestarles aquéllos.

Question: 3.¿Va a llevarles estas maletas Marisol? (those ones) I wrote: No, va a llevar esas (it's telling me llevar is wrong)

Question: 4.¿Les van a enseñar esos verbos a los estudiantes? (these ones) I wrote: No les van a enseñar (it's telling me I'm missing a word after ensenar).

Can't figure out what I am missing.

In the question a demonstrative adjective is used:

  • ...esos programas...
  • ...estas maletas...
  • ...esos verbos....

In the answer you need a demonstrative pronoun (different distance from you than the ones in the questions)

Q. ¿esos programas? A. No, aquéllos o No, éstos.

Q. ¿ estas maletas? A. No, ésas. o No, aquéllas.

Q. ¿esos verbos? A. No, éstos. o No, aquéllos.

For beginners it is wise to differentiate between the demonstrative adjectives (no tilde) and the demonstrative pronouns (with tilde) as done in this lesson, Just be aware that changes in the rules were made in 2010 by the Academies

CHANGES MADE IN 2010

Previous to 2010:

Demonstrative pronouns carried a tilde over their stressed syllable to distinguish them from demonstrative adjectives. These adjectives always precede nouns, the pronouns never do. The new rule calls for no accent mark on any demonstratives at all.

Question 3: I think you need to use llevarles in the answer, just like it was used in the question.

Question 4: You need to add the demonstrative pronoun after enseñar. No les van a enseñar estos.
