Thank you God for letting Tory let me know that there would be a Spanish portion to the interview. Gracias Padre por deja a Tory me da cuenta que seria un porcion de la entrevista en espanol

If that happens, I'll involve you (usted) - Si esto pasa, lo/le involucro (I think 'lo')

I made videos with the guys standing outside the U-Haul, they showed me different parts of the shoe, and I asked them questions like "what do you like about the shoe" Hice videos con los Paisanos parando afuera del U-Haul. Ellos me mostraron los partes diferentes de la bota. Los pregunte preguntas como que le gusta del zapato? (is it correct that I am using the direct object pronoun 'los' instead of the indirect object pronoun 'les'?)

I promise you this - le compromiso esto (le = indirect object pronoun, refers to the ud. person I am speaking to. Is it necessary to add "a usted" to the end of that sentence?)

Finally, I read that you can tell an indirect object from a direct object because an indirect object answers the question "to whom/for whom", but I'm wondering if this is a hard and fast rule. For example, in my previous sentence, assuming "le compromiso esto" is correct, "this I promise to/for you" would sound off in English. In fact, it would sound best with no preposition, which falls within the rules of a direct obeject pronoun. Thank you all for your help and answers.

What do you like about the shoe? ¿ Que es, exactamente, que le gusta acerca de los zapatos?

Answer 4

Thanks Annierats. Si mas gente puede contestarme, estaria muy agadecido, porque creo que aun asi no tenemos las respuestas correctas.

Thank you, you're only too right, we need help! - annierats, Jan 13, 2013

I had to change the original, to make it easier.. - annierats, Jan 13, 2013

Answer 5

You should use "les" in your statement, "Les pregunté preguntas..." The direct object is the answer to the question, "What did you ask?" and is "preguntas". "Whom did you ask" points you to the indirect object, "them." "I asked them questions..."

right on, thanks Rick! - halofan00, Jan 13, 2013

Answer 6

Thanks be to u God, for letting Tory let me know, that there would be a Spanish portion to the interview.

Gracias a Dios por lo que Tory me había dicho, que la entrevista tendrá una parte en español . ( Padre is the priest, not God, I think, anyway. I'm not a churchgoer).

If that happens, I'll involve you (usted)

Si pasara ésa cosa, les involcurarían.

Ellos me mostraron partes diferentes de la bota. Les hice preguntas , como, ¿a ustedes, les gustan los zapatos?

This is a start. I await further answers with interest.I'm only another learner and it's not very clear to me what you want to say.
