Where is the word properly accentuated?
-
Mandarmeló
-
Mandármelo
-
Mandarmélo
-
No need for accent.
Correct Answer
A. MandármeloExplanation
The word "mandármelo" is properly accentuated. In Spanish, accents are used to indicate where the stress falls in a word. In this case, the accent mark on the letter "á" indicates that the stress is on the second-to-last syllable, "melo." Without the accent mark, the stress would fall on the last syllable, "lo," which would be incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is "mandármelo."Rate this question:

Fill in the blank with the proper translation.The boy sends me it.El chico ____ ____ manda.
-
Se lo
-
Lo me
-
Me la
-
La me
Correct Answer
A. Me laExplanation
The correct answer is "me la". In Spanish, when referring to a direct object, the pronouns "me" and "la" are used. "Me" indicates that the action is being done to the speaker, and "la" indicates that the object being sent is feminine. Therefore, "me la" translates to "me it" in English, which correctly completes the sentence "El chico me la manda" meaning "The boy sends me it."Rate this question:

Which are INcorrect couplings of double object pronouns?
-
Te lo
-
Me te
-
Lo se
-
Se las
-
Le las
-
Lo me
Correct Answer(s)
A. Lo se
A. Le las
A. Lo meExplanation
The correct answer is "lo se, le las, lo me." These are incorrect couplings of double object pronouns because they do not follow the correct order of placement. In Spanish, the direct object pronoun (lo, las) should come before the indirect object pronoun (me, te, se, le). Therefore, "lo se" is incorrect because it should be "se lo," "le las" should be "las le," and "lo me" should be "me lo."Rate this question:

A. Attached to the end of present participle
A. Attached to infinitiveExplanation
The double object pronoun can be placed in front of an unconjugated verb, attached to the end of a present participle, and attached to an infinitive. This means that it can come before a verb that hasn't been conjugated, such as "I want to give them the book." It can also be attached to the end of a present participle, such as "She is showing them her new painting." And finally, it can be attached to an infinitive, such as "He needs to buy us some groceries."Rate this question:
