When do you use (le and les) and when do you use (lo,los,la,las)! i need MAAJOR HELP!? |
Travel Info please help maybe give exapmles Travel Tips lo, los, la, las are used for direct objects. They are the object that directly receives that action. She hit the car. Ella golpea el carro. She hit it. Ella lo golpea. She bought the present. Ella compra el regalo. She bought it. Ello lo compra. Les, Le are used as indirect objects. They are usually a person but can also be an animal. A good rule of thumb is noun after the personal "a" needs to be le or les in shortened form. She gave the present to Juan. Ella da el regalo a Juan. She gave the present to him. Ella le da el regalo. She gave it to him. Ella se lo da. Others Le and les both refer to people in a sentence, le is one person and les is more than one. Think of them as meaning "to (someone)" such as "I give the book to you" Le takes the place of "to you". Lo, la, los and las refer to things, usually, and match the gender of the thing. Ex. "I drink beer" becomes "I drink it" and "it" is replaced by "la". Even more confusing is the fact that these words come before the conjugated verb, so "I drink it" becomes "Yo la tomo". I know- it's very odd! Good luck Le voy a ayudar: I will help You're refering to one person. means you're going to help someone. Les saque un disgusto. : I upset them You're talking about 2 or more persons. Means you're talking to someone about your parents Lo voy a pasar: I will pass. You're refering to a test. Means you're going to pass the test. Los voy a ayudar: I will help them. You're talking about a group of people. Means you're going to help a group do something. La voy a ayudar. I will help her. You're refering to a girl. Means you're going to help one girl Las voy a ayudar. I will help them. You're refering to a group of females. Means you'll help several girls. hope i made it easier to understand Le and les sound french to me... like le poisson or les miserables If I remember correctly from my college Spanish classes, el is for a singular male noun.. like el chico, or el dia... los is the plural form.. as in los chicos, los dias... la is singular female noun.. as in la estrella, or la muchacha, and las is the plural.. as in las estrellas or las muchachas How can you tell if a noun is supposed to be male or female... you don't really... I guess the more you use it on a day to day basis, you'll just know... Good luck! |
