Great, thanks. :) - rac1, May 19, 2014

Great ebook Kiwi, thanks for sharing .. A nice cocktail of possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns .. helped me revise .. :) - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

But Kiwi, I have a little question (after reading that e-book) .. there is a sentence on the very first slide/page "a quien le pertence" .. now I have seen le being used for the first time in such a sentence .. and I am not sure if it is actually required - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

let me try to answer my own question and please tell me if I am right or wrong .. hehe .. pertenecer is an intransitive verb and doesn't take a direct object and the object the possession is attributed to is thus an indirect object so we need to use the i - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

so we need to use the indirect object pronoun .. like .. este libro le pertence a Kiwi (so Kiwi becomes an indirect object in this sentence) .. am I correct Kiwi ? - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

but if so .. I am not sure why le/les have not been used in any of the sentence examples for pertenecer on SD .. :( - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

and Kiwi .. I used to say .. Loncha de quezo .. but I learned that new word trozo in your ebook .. so thanks - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

Can you give me an example Jimmy of what you've seen on SD regarding pertenecer? - Kiwi-Girl, May 20, 2014

Btw your comments are correct, kiwi wd be the indirect object in your example. - Kiwi-Girl, May 20, 2014

Yeaaaaaa .. Thank you Kiwi .. See .. I may be a beginner but I am smart beginner .. hehe .. :P - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

OK .. here is an example I am copying and pasting from SD dictionary section : pertenecemos a un grupo pacifista - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

so if we go as per the instransitive verb logic as we discussed above .. should we not rather be saying this as : le pertenecemos a un grupo pacifista - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

we belong to a pacifist group (where the group is the indirect Object so le should be used as per the logic we discussed above).. - 00b055e0, May 20, 2014

The short answer is that sometimes the i.o.p. is required, and sometimes it is optional depending on where it goes in the sentence and what role it plays.

In my case the i.o. preceded the verb so the i.o.p. was mandatory.

For your example the i.o. followed the verb so the i.o.p. was optional.

I hope that helps

ohh .. ok .. I think I understand now .. thank you so much, Kiwi :) - 00b055e0, May 24, 2014
