Pelase help...Answer each question using a Direct Object Pronoun

Question

Buscaron las carpetas en la sala de clase ustedes? Ganaste la campioneta tú? Compraste los pantalones ayer? Lavaron la pizarra ustedes? Tomó los apuntes usted?

Thanks for adding your language level. NB tests are away of revising and finding out what you don't know. If you want to speak Spanish you have to learn just like you learned English when young repetition and correction - Mardle, Mar 20, 2016

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum. Can you add your level of English and Spanish to your profile as it helps in answering questions.

It looks to me that all your questions are in the preterite - simple past and if you are still new to Spanish you just reply using the same tense.

However, you need to think what you would do if it was in English so where the question is

'Did they [3rd person plural ustedes] try remembering it is a formal use ie in English did you. I think your answer should be 'we' ...Your answer is I didn't find them but the question isn't to you.

The one using 'ganar' is to you, singular familiar so you answer using first person not nosotros.

What do you think 'me lavó' means? Have you learned reflexive verbs yet? Me lavo - no accent - I wash myself [present tense] me lavó with an accent he/she it washed me.

The direct objects here are lo/la/los/las you are not being asked to use the rest.

see if you can now work out some correct answers and don't forget to add your language level on your profile.

I was just trying all kinds of tenses of verbs and pronouns to figure out the right combination. I think I missed a day of class or this would have been easier to figure out but I understand it now. Thanks for your help - kannfeight, Mar 20, 2016

good luck. Make the effort to learn the preterite and direct objects as you will use them a lot. - Mardle, Mar 20, 2016

Answer 2

Helping you is not doing your homework for you.

Helping you is critiquing your effort after you do you own homework, which anyone here will be happy to do.

Answer 3

Buscaron las carpetas en la sala de clase ustedes? Ganaste la campioneta tú? Compraste los pantalones ayer? Lavaron la pizarra ustedes? Tomó los apuntes usted?

Sí las busqué Sí, la ganamos Sí, los compré Sí, me lavó Sí, los tomas In three of the four cases you answered with the wrong person:

Ustedes, answer with nosotros, tú or usted answer with yo.

Your only correct one is:

¿Compraste los pantalones ayer? Sí, los compré.

For homework, sometimes they want to other parts included:

Sí, los compré ayer.

If that works, you have pattern. Try doing that with others.

One additional hint.

Your other error is in me lavó- not only are you not answering from ustedes you picked the wrong pronoun- you say he/she you formal washed me. You need to pick the right direct object pronoun in addition to fixing the verb and adding the filler in that case.

As the other responders note, we will not do it for you.

Oh ok thank you...would it be nos lavamos - kannfeight, Mar 20, 2016

no, you are not washing yourselves. Try "la lavamos" we washed it. Nos lavamos- we washed ourselves. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 20, 2016

Oh now I see I was trying to change both. I got it. The other one is las buscamos. This has been very helpful. I understand now. Thank you - kannfeight, Mar 20, 2016

I must have been answering the same time as you - Mardle, Mar 20, 2016

That happens. :) - bosquederoble, Mar 20, 2016

Answer 4

Yay I got another one right Sí, la gané. I think I got it now

Answer 5

It's not a test. I do have til next Friday to figure it out. I will ask him tomorrow do help. It's only a 10 point assignment

Answer 6

I've tried several answers and nothing is correct so far. I can't figure out how to do it. I've spent hours on this

I've tried Sí las busqué Sí, la ganamos Sí, los compré Sí, me lavó Sí, los tomas

This is just my most recent attempt. I've tried multiple answers so far. I can't figure out if I need to change the verb or use the same verb and just do the me te la las etc.

Maybe if you just help me with the first one. I can figure out the pattern. I can't even get one right yet.

Sorry I should have said that. I'm struggling

My teacher uses virtual academy and I can check each answer as I go but I can't get even one correct. Once I get one right I can usually figure out the rest - kannfeight, Mar 20, 2016

You should have told your teacher this before it became test time. - rac1, Mar 20, 2016
