When should the personal a be used in a sentence, and why? Write your answer in English. Next, write a complete sentence in Spanish that uses the personal a.
The personal "a" should be used in a sentence before a direct object that refers to a specific person or pet in order to show that the action of the verb is directed towards that person or pet. It is a unique feature of the Spanish language.
