Answer 1

Hi Noelle,

No worry on the numbers. Formatting can be a bit funny here. Good on you for supply the answers. But, you actually only did half the assignment.

Note the instructions:

Complete the following sentences with the correct indirect object pronoun and the correct form of the verb in parentheses.

You basically did the second half of that (correct form of the verb) but neglected to put in the correct indirect object pronoun.

Probably just an oversight, but to help make sure it´s clear, I´m going to give you one freebie here. First I´ll comment that I don´t know if these were all supposed to be in past tense as you´ve done or if they could have also been present. That´s for you teacher and you, but, the basic example below will serve you fine either way.

No_______(molestar) a Paco sacar la basura.

molestó

This would yield ¨No___molestó____ a Paco sacar la basura¨

But in Spanish, you need the indirect object pronoun (the whole name of this exercise, no?) so your answers all omit that.

Here´s what you really want.

¨No__le__molestó___ a Paco sacar la basura¨

Note, if this were allowed in present tense, it would be almost the same.

¨No__le__molesta___ a Paco sacar la basura¨

Go back and add the IOPs and double check your spellings, and then we´ll jump back in and help some more.

Buena suerte.
