Question

direct object pronouns (pp: 1.24c)
a. direct object (what or whom receives the action of the verb). direct - object nouns represent people or things.
to avoid repeating a direct - object noun, you can replace it with a direct - object pronoun.
example: ¿quieres el helado? (helado is the direct - object noun.)
sí, lo quiero. (lo is the direct - object pronoun. it replaces the word helado.)
here are the direct - object pronouns you have already used:

singular	plural
la (it, her), you (feminine formal)	las (them), you (feminine formal)

a. circle the direct - object noun in each sentence. then, write the direct - object pronoun that replaces the circled words. follow the model.
modelo margarita cogió el cheque. la

1. paquito pasó la aspiradora ayer. ______
2. juancho buscó los patines. ______
3. tú llamaste al taller del coche. ______
4. yo envié las tarjetas a la tía. ______
5. uds. sacaron los libros de la biblioteca. ______
6. ella cerró la estación de servicio. ______

b. look at the sentences from exercise a. replace the direct - object noun you circle with the pronoun that corresponds to it. follow the model.
modelo margarita lo cogió.

1. paquito ______ pasó ayer.
2. juancho ______ buscó.
3. tú ______ llamaste.
4. yo ______ envié a la tía.
5. uds. ______ sacaron de la biblioteca.
6. ella ______ cerró.

Explanation:

This problem is about Spanish direct object pronouns. We'll solve part A first, then part B. For part A, we identify the direct object noun (the thing receiving the action) and write the corresponding pronoun. For part B, we replace the direct object noun with the correct pronoun.

Part A:

1. Sentence: Paquito pasó la aspiradora ayer.

Direct object noun: la aspiradora (feminine singular). Corresponding pronoun: la.

1. Sentence: Juancho buscó los patines.

Direct object noun: los patines (masculine plural). Corresponding pronoun: los.

1. Sentence: Tú llamaste al taller del coche.

Direct object noun: el taller (masculine singular). Corresponding pronoun: lo. Wait, no—al taller is el taller, so pronoun is lo? Wait, no, taller is masculine singular, so pronoun is lo? Wait, the model uses la for el cheque? Wait, no, cheque is masculine? Wait, maybe the model has a typo, but let's check the table. The table has singular: lo (it, him), la (it, her), you (masculine formal); plural: los (them), las (them), you (masculine formal), las (them), you (feminine formal). Wait, el cheque is masculine singular, so pronoun should be lo, but the model says la? Maybe cheque is feminine in some contexts? Wait, maybe the model is correct, but let's proceed.
Wait, el taller: masculine singular, so pronoun lo.

1. Sentence: Yo envié las tarjetas a la tía.

Direct object noun: las tarjetas (feminine plural). Corresponding pronoun: las.

1. Sentence: Uds. sacaron los libros de la biblioteca.

Direct object noun: los libros (masculine plural). Corresponding pronoun: los.

1. Sentence: Ella cerró la estación de servicio.

Direct object noun: la estación (feminine singular). Corresponding pronoun: la.

Part B:

We replace the direct object noun with the pronoun. Let's use the pronouns from part A.

1. Sentence: Paquito ______ pasó ayer.

Direct object was la aspiradora (feminine singular), so pronoun la? Wait, no—wait, aspiradora is feminine singular, so pronoun la. Wait, but the model has lo for el cheque? Maybe the model's cheque is masculine, but the pronoun is la? Maybe a mistake, but let's follow the table. Wait, the table says singular: lo (it, him), la (it, her), you (masculine formal). So la aspiradora (feminine singular) → la. So: Paquito la pasó ayer.

1. Sentence: Juancho ______ buscó.

Direct object was los patines (masculine plural) → los. So: Juancho los buscó.

1. Sentence: Tú ______ llamaste.

Direct object was el taller (masculine singular) → lo. So: Tú lo llamaste. Wait, but taller is masculine, so lo.

1. Sentence: Yo ______ envié a la tía.

Direct object was las tarjetas (feminine plural) → las. So: Yo las envié a la tía.

1. Sentence: Uds. ______ sacaron de la biblioteca.

Direct object was los libros (masculine plural) → los. So: Uds. los sacaron de la biblioteca.

1. Sentence: Ella ______ cerró.

Direct object was la estación (feminine singular) → la. So: Ella la cerró.

Wait, maybe I made a mistake with el taller. Let's recheck: llamar a + noun: the direct object is el taller, so the pronoun is lo (masculine singular). Yes.
