I think you're missing the main point. The objective of this exercise is to replace the object that directly receives the action of the verb. - 003492fc, Aug 22, 2013

Answer 2

We use direct object pronouns all the time so don't think of it as something "foreign".

Do you see that car? Yes, I see it. The direct object car is replaced by the direct object pronoun it.

Do you know Jason? No, I don't know him. The direct object Jason is replaced by the direct object pronoun him.

Did you buy the shoes you wanted? No, I didn't buy them. The direct object shoes is replaced by the direct object pronoun them.

Does this help your understanding? This is what your Spanish homework is trying to have you learn and use in the exercise.

Very good explanation. I am sure this helped. - 003492fc, Aug 22, 2013

Gracias, When I taught Spanish and French in High School many years ago, I spent time teaching English grammar. - Jubilado, Aug 22, 2013

Answer 3

Remember that buscar is to search for and encontrar is to find.

Necesitas buscarla / La necesitas buscar.

Prefiero comprarlos / Los prefiero comprar

Tienen que prepararlo / Lo tienen que preparar
