section 3: use direct and indirect object pronouns to rewrite the sentences without changing their meaning. (8 x 3 pts. each = 24 pts.) 11 mi hermana prepara la comida a nosotros. 12 tú le das las flores a julieta. 13 nosotros vamos a comprar un regalo a marta en el centro comercial. 14 ernesto manda el paquete a su amigo. 15 yo les doy un consejo a los chicos. 16 yo compro una camiseta nueva para ti. 17 mi abuela cuenta historias a los niños. 18 luis y yo le damos la respuesta correcta a la profesora.

Explanation:

In Spanish, direct - object pronouns replace the direct object (what or whom the action is directly done to) and indirect - object pronouns replace the indirect object (to/for whom the action is done). We identify the direct and indirect objects in each sentence and replace them with the appropriate pronouns.

1. Mi hermana nos la prepara. (Direct object "la comida" is replaced with "la", indirect object "a nosotros" is replaced with "nos")
2. Tú se las das. (Direct object "las flores" is replaced with "las", indirect object "a Julieta" is replaced with "se")
3. Nosotros le lo vamos a comprar. (Direct object "un regalo" is replaced with "lo", indirect object "a Marta" is replaced with "le")
4. Ernesto se lo manda. (Direct object "el paquete" is replaced with "lo", indirect object "a su amigo" is replaced with "se")
5. Yo se lo doy. (Direct object "un consejo" is replaced with "lo", indirect object "a los chicos" is replaced with "se")
6. Yo te la compro. (Direct object "una camiseta nueva" is replaced with "la", indirect object "para ti" is replaced with "te")
7. Mi abuela se las cuenta. (Direct object "historias" is replaced with "las", indirect object "a los niños" is replaced with "se")
8. Luis y yo se la damos. (Direct object "la respuesta correcta" is replaced with "la", indirect object "a la profesora" is replaced with "se")
