Explanation

The personal "a" rule applies when talking about a person. In Spanish, the preposition "a" is used before a direct object that refers to a specific person or persons. This is done to show respect or to indicate that the person is the direct recipient of the action. For example, "Veo a Juan" (I see Juan) or "Conozco a María" (I know María). However, the personal "a" is not used when talking about animals or objects, only when referring to people.

To find the direct object pronoun in a sentence, you need to ask "what is being verbed?" This question helps identify the direct object, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. By asking this question, you can determine the word or phrase that directly follows the verb and functions as the direct object.
