Answer 1

I think you have your terms confused.

Pronouns are words like "yo" "tú" "él" "ella" and so forth. These are subject pronouns. They mean respectively "I" "you" "he" "she" There are more.

Direct object pronouns are me, te, lo la, nos, and los and las.

In the phrase "the skirt" "the" is the definite article, which in Spanish comes in four forms. "el" (no accent) la (that's "the" singular masc, and fem. ) los and las are the "plural" forms of 'el" and "la"

In your question, "Do you nave any family in Toa Alta" In English you have the indefinite pronoun "any" which needs not be expressed in Spanish.

If you don't understand anything that I have written, you need to get a hold of a good Spanish textbook, and start from Lesson one where they teach these basics. You can also go to the "grammar" button at the bottom of the SD home page and click on it and a whole bunch of easy grammar lessons will be made available to you.
