Help with Spanish Indirect and Direct pronouns?

Question

Use a direct or indirect object pronoun to answer the question.

¿Hablas a la clase?

Sí, _____ hablo.

¿Escribes una carta?

Sí, ________ escribo.

¿Hablas a la clase?

Sí, _____ hablo.

I'm having trouble with this. How do I know what pronoun to use?

Answer 1

Are you joking?

Answer 2

Hi!!! I´m spanish and good in gramatics...but this question is very difficult for many spanish people, even for me because in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world we don´t use well this pronouns...I´m from Madrid and the persons from Madrid we say it badly often. Only the people specialist in the topic and many others sometimes used well..

I tell you what would say according to my intucion and knowledge, but I don´t assure you that this is correct.

1. Sí, le hablo. O.Indirect.

But I think the correct question and more usually is ¿Le hablas a la clase? And here is the clue...

2. Sí, la escribo. O. Direct. Escribir una carta a alguien. La carta is O.Direct and the question asks for the thing you write, but not who are you writting to.

But if you are refering to somebody you write (women or man) you have to use LE.

Sí, le escribo (in both cases).But in this case the questions will be differents : ¿escribes a  Ana? Sí, le escribo (¿a quién escribes?). But the question is if you are writting a letter…

3. And…..here the question is the same that the first. It´s a clue. Both posibilities exists. I think it´s posible other posibilities. When you have one verb that can be transitive and intransive. When you use HABLAR like intransitivo “hablar a alguien” (speak to somebody), a alguien it´s working like O. Directo. For that reason It´s possible that you can use also Sí, la hablo. (Hablo a la clase)

I hope it was useful for you. Sorry for my english. Also I am grateful to you if you do it corrections to my writing…I think it´s not very good…

Good luck!!! Please, tell us if I was correct.

Bye, bye!!!!
