I am supposed to choose from pronom indirect (indirect pronouns), and pronom disjoint (stressed pronuons). Naturally, if you had an answer for the question, you'd know what those meant, but I just thought I should give a better idea of my level of understanding...
Anyway, the sentence in question is the following:
"Je ____ montre l’appartement. (aux amis)"
I have no idea what it's asking for, because I know that "aux amis" means "with friends," but it wouldn't take nous or me... am I wrong to assume this is where one would use an indirect pronoun?
I sent the link to this post to SraJMcGin.
It is asking for the indirect object pronoun "to them" as in "I show/do show/am showing the apparement to them." the direct object is "l'appartement" and the indirect noun is "aux amis" so Here is the sentence:
Je leur montre l'appartement. (aux amis = clarifies the indirect object pronoun)
Sra (aka Mme)
Q1. complete with the, for, without, with, for: -
1. It parle___________ the court.
In this sentence, you are correct that "aux amis" means "with friends." To fill in the blank, you need to choose between an indirect pronoun or a stressed pronoun. Let's understand the difference between these two types of pronouns:
1. Indirect Pronouns (Pronoms Indirects): These pronouns are used to replace the indirect object in a sentence, which is the recipient or beneficiary of the action. They typically indicate to whom or for whom something is done.
2. Stressed Pronouns (Pronoms Disjoints): These pronouns are used for emphasis or contrast. They are not connected to a verb and are typically used after prepositions or for emphasis.
To determine which type of pronoun to use in your sentence, let's break it down:
"Je ____ montre l’appartement. (aux amis)"
Here, the verb is "montre" (show) and the indirect object is indicated by the preposition "aux" (to, with). The preposition "aux" introduces the indirect object "les amis" (friends).
Since it is asking "to whom" you are showing the apartment, the correct choice is an indirect pronoun. You should choose an indirect pronoun that corresponds to "les amis." In this case, the appropriate indirect pronoun is "leur" (to them). The sentence should then be:
"Je leur montre l’appartement. (aux amis)"
Therefore, the correct answer is to use the indirect pronoun "leur" to indicate that you are showing the apartment "to them" or "with them" (referring to the friends).
