In the following sentence, which direct object requires the personal a?

(I don't really get this question, please help!)
a. el tren
b. el monumento
c. la amiga de mi mama
d. el barco

Right dow I think that it is el barco but I'm not sure...

The personal a is usually used when the direct objects are people or pets. It usually comes before the direct object that's a person. So the answer would be C, because your are talking about a person, "the friend of my mother." "Vi a la amiga de mi mama."

To determine which direct object requires the personal "a" in the given sentence, you need to understand the concept of the personal "a" in Spanish. The personal "a" is used before a direct object that refers to a specific person or a pet.

Let me break down the sentence for you and explain how to identify the direct object that requires the personal "a":

"I don't really get this question, please help!"

The sentence you provided doesn't contain the direct objects listed in options a, b, c, or d. Therefore, we can't determine which direct object requires the personal "a" in this particular sentence.

If you provide the entire sentence, I can further assist you with identifying the direct object and determining whether the personal "a" is needed.
