quien le recomendo ese plato? su tio
Su tio se lo recomendo. is the answer i first did.
Mi tio me lo recomendo was the second. i am on the last allowed attempt and i am not sure what else to do.
I sent this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
First of all, you should post the directions. What have you been asked to do? Without knowing that, I'm not sure what to do with this. Also, numbering them is helpful.
1. I assume there is a question, which you are to answer? If so: ¿Quién le recomendó ese plato? (Because "le" is not clarified, it could mean to him, to her, even to you (usted). The answer must use su tío (note accent marks, please!) Se lo recomendó su tío OR Su tío se lo recomendó.
NOTE: without the accent mark, it will NOT be identified as the Preterit = Past Tense.
Why did you come up with the 2nd? You must have thought then that "le" meant "a usted" and "su tío" became "mi tío." In th at case you only need the accent marks on tío & recomendó = Mi tío me lo recomendó OR Me lo recomendó mi tío.
Is that what you were to do?

I'll flag this so I can come back later to answer any questions you might have.
To address your question, "quien le recomendo ese plato?" which translates to "who recommended that dish to him/her?", let's break down the two possible answers you provided:
1. "Su tio se lo recomendo" - This answer indicates that "his/her uncle recommended it." Here, "se lo recomendo" is a correct way to express the idea of "recommended it to him/her." However, without any context, it is impossible to determine if this is the correct answer.
2. "Mi tio me lo recomendo" - This answer translates to "my uncle recommended it to me." Here, "me lo recomendo" accurately conveys that the uncle recommended the dish specifically to "me." However, since the original question asks about "him/her," this answer is not correct.
Considering that these are the only two attempts you have made, and neither is correct, let's try to find the correct answer together:
1. Begin by analyzing the original question, which asks "quien le recomendo ese plato?" In this phrase, "le" represents a third-person singular pronoun meaning "to him/her." Therefore, the question is, "who recommended that dish to him/her?"
2. To provide a correct answer, you need to use the appropriate pronoun and verb form to show who recommended the dish and to whom. In this case, use the third-person singular form "le" to indicate "him/her" and "se lo recomendo" to express "recommended it to him/her."
Thus, the correct answer to the question "quien le recomendo ese plato?" is "se lo recomendaron."
Points to remember:
- "se" is the reflexive pronoun that indicates "to him/her" in this context.
- "lo" represents "it" referring to the dish.
Remember, always consider the context of the question, pay attention to the pronouns and verb forms, and make sure your answer aligns with the given information.
