Answer: The right answer is the A) conoce.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this exercise they are asking you to fill the blank with the correct form of the verb and the most appropriate verb. The verbs "conocer" and "saber" can translate as to know, but they are used for different purposes in Spanish. "Saber" could be broadly translated as to know about, whereas "conocer" could be broadly translated simply as to know. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that his or her brother (third person singular) has been to the United States. Options C and D are incorrect, since they agree with the third person plural. If he knew about the US, the speaker would have said "sabe de" (knows about, knows of), so the right option is "conoce."

Fill in the blanks with the correct indirect object pronouns.

Reika [66]

Answer:

Isabel y yo vamos de compras al centro comercial. Yo (1) LES tengo que comprar unas cosas a mis parientes porque voy a viajar a mi ciudad este fin de semana. A mi hermana Laura (2) LE quiero comprar unas gafas de sol, pero ella (3) ME tiene que comprar un traje de baño a mí. A mis dos sobrinos (4) LES voy a comprar una pelota de béisbol. A mi padre (5) LE llevo un libro, y a mi madre (6) LE tengo que conseguir una blusa. (7) LES quiero llevar camisetas con el nombre de mi universidad a todos.

Explanation:

Let's first see the indirect object pronouns in Spanish.

1. (a mí) me 1. (a nosotros) nos

2. (a ti) te 2. (a vosotros) os

3. (a él/ella) le 3. (a ellos/as) les

*The parentheses mean that it can be expressed or omitted.

All the underlined elements in the text stand for a recipient (a mis parientes, a mi hermana Laura, etc.) and they always have the preposition a.

The whole indirect subject can be changed for the pronoun (short form):

A mis dos sobrinos (4) LES voy a comprar una pelota de béisbol.

Les voy a comprar una pelota de béisbol. CORRECT

But if the indirect object is expressed before the verb, then the pronoun is obligatory.

*A mis dos sobrinos voy a comprar una pelota de béisbol. INCORRECT

But, if the indirect object comes after the verb, then it can stand alone (without the pronoun).

Voy a comprar una pelota de béisbol a mis sobrinas. CORRECT

Which form of tener do i use here?

g100num [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Tenemos}}$

Explanation:

In Spanish, we can conjugate for many different pronouns.

Yo: I
Tú: You
Él/ella/usted: he, she, you (formal)
Nosotros: We
Vosotros: You all (informal)
Ellos/ellas/ustedes: they, you all (formal)

Let's look at the sentence we are given:

Juan y yo ____ la clase de español todos los días

Juan y yo translates to Juan and I, which also means we. Refer to the pronouns above and see that we is nosotros.
Tener conjugated for nosotros is tenemos.

Juan y yo tenemos la clase de español todos los días (Juan and I have Spanish class every day)
