Tips to Ace the Exercises
To get a perfect score on our online activities and sound like a native Spanish speaker, keep these two golden rules in mind:
- Drop the Subject: Spanish is a "pro-drop" language. Because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action, native speakers rarely use subject pronouns unless they want to add emphasis. It is much more natural to say "Hablo español" instead of "Yo hablo español".
- The "Se lo" rule: this is the most famous pronoun trap! When you need to use both an Indirect Object Pronoun (le or les) and a Direct Object Pronoun (lo, la, los, las) in the same sentence, Spanish phonetics do not allow you to say "le lo". Instead, the first pronoun magically transforms into "se".
- INCORRECT: Se lo di a él. ⮕ Le lo di.
- CORRECT: I gave it to him. ⮕ Se lo di.
