Answer 2

Firstly, I would suggest translating the whole sentence -

Mariela's dad (to bring) the tickets for the football match.

Then you need to know which tense to choose, do you want to say, is bringing, brought, will bring etc etc.

so now if you replaced Mariela's dad with a pronoun which would you use?

we? (traemos) nope

he? yes - so you'll be choosing an 'él' (he) conjugation

So go to the conjugation chart of traer

And depending on which tense you want, choose something from the the 'él, ella, ud' column.

I hope that helps.

Answer 3

You would use trae * because its talking about her dad. (him)
