Step-by-step solution for: Indirect Object Pronoun Worksheet Spanish
This exercise is about changing the indirect object in Spanish sentences to use reflexive pronouns or prepositional phrases appropriately, depending on the context. The goal is to rewrite each sentence so that the indirect object (the person receiving the action) is correctly placed using either a preposition (like *para*, *a*) or a reflexive pronoun.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and explain how to fill in the blanks properly.
---
→ Jorge _________ compra flores.
✔ Jorge me compra flores.
- "para mí" means "for me", which becomes me (indirect object pronoun) before the verb.
---
→ Marta _________ cuenta la historia.
✔ Marta nos cuenta la historia.
- "a nosotros" → nos (indirect object pronoun).
---
→ Los padres _________ leen el libro.
✔ Los padres le leen el libro.
- "al niño" = "a él" → le (indirect object pronoun).
- Note: In Spanish, we say le leen, even though it sounds like "le" twice — this is correct.
---
→ _________ escribo una carta.
✔ Les escribo una carta.
- "a mis abuelos" → les (plural indirect object pronoun).
---
→ Felipe _________ da un anillo.
✔ Felipe le da un anillo.
- "a Juana" → le (indirect object pronoun).
---
→ _________ vendemos la casa.
✔ Le vendemos la casa.
- "a Marta" → le (indirect object pronoun).
---
→ _________ traigo el maquillaje.
✔ Le traigo el maquillaje.

---

→ Ella _________ escribe una carta.
✔ Ella les escribe una carta.
- "a ustedes" → les.
---
→ _________ enviamos el regalo.
✔ Les enviamos el regalo.
- "a vosotros" → les (in formal or standard Spanish, "vosotros" uses os, but in many regions, les is used for both "vosotros" and "ustedes").
- However, in standard Spanish, especially in Latin America, les is preferred for "to you (plural)" regardless of formality. So les is correct here.
---
→ _________ sirvo la comida.
✔ Les sirvo la comida.
- "a ellas" → les.
---
→ El arquitecto _________ diseña una casa.
✔ El arquitecto te diseña una casa.
- "para ti" → te (indirect object pronoun).

- These exercises focus on indirect object pronouns:
- me (to/for me), te (to/for you), le (to/for him/her/you formal), nos (to/for us), os (to/for you all – Spain), les (to/for them/you all).
- When the indirect object is replaced with a pronoun, it goes before the verb (in simple tenses) or attached to the infinitive or present participle.
- "Para + pronombre" → changes to indirect object pronoun.
- "A + noun" → also becomes indirect object pronoun.
