Well done for having a go.

Ok so it's not hard, you just need to learn and remember which 'prepositional phrase' ( the a tí, a mí etc bit) goes with which indirect object pronoun (the me, te, le, nos etc bits).

Here's the list:

a mí -> me

a tí -> te

a él, a ella, a usted -> le

a nosotros -> nos

a ellos, a ustedes -> les

So do you want to check if you've paired them up correctly?

Eg. For the first one you have 'a tí' paired up with 'le' but that's not its pair. It needs to be 'te'.

A ti no 'te' gusta mirar la televisión?

The confusing thing is that these kinds of Spanish sentences seem to unneccesarily repeat themselves. But we just have to accept that that is how they say things.

Perhaps it would help you a bit if you understand what your sentence is actually literally saying.

A tí = to you

no te gusta = not to you is pleasing (which means don't you like in English)

mirar = to watch

la television = the tv

I hope that helps somewhat, now try to fix the rest of your sentences and then let us check again for you.

A ti. ;) - Tosh, Oct 2, 2013

Answer 2

We're really happy to help you to correct any homework Noelle but we can't do it for you because this is a learning site and that really wouldn't be of much help to you in the long run.

So why not have a go and post your attempt and we'll help you if you need any corrections or explanations.

That way you'll actually be learning Spanish which I guess is what you're hoping for in the end.
