Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: correct.

Explanation:

The sentence states that Gladys gives her mom some flowers.  

• "Gladys" is the subject which is a third person singular.
• "Da" is the verb conjugated correctly in the present simple for the third person singular, agreeing with the subject.
• "Flores" is a noun that works as a Direct Complement because it answers the questions: what? and complements the meaning of the sentence, as it is said that Gladys gives her mom some flowers. As it is in indeterminate plural noun so it doesn't need a pronoun before it is mentioned.
• "A su mamá" is the Indirect Complement because it answers the question: whom? and complements the meaning of the sentence, as it is declaring that Glady's mother is the one that receives the flowers.
• "Le" is the pronoun of the Indirect Complement, so it has to agree in number and person with the latter. In this case, as Glady's mom is the Indirect Complement, and it is third person singular, then the correct pronoun is "le". Pronoun of the Indirect Complement is not always included when the Indirect Complement is explicitly mentioned in the sentence, but the verb "dar" ("to give") is one of the few verbs in Spanish that always goes with the pronoun when a person is mentioned as an indirect complement. This pronoun always has to go before the verb.

Therefore, the right way to express that Gladys give her mom some flowers in Spanish is: "Gladys le da flores a su mamá", thus the answer for the question is the option: CORRECT.
