Which are INcorrect couplings of double object pronouns?
Correct Answer(s)
C. Lo se
E. Le las
F. Lo me
Explanation
The correct answer is "lo se, le las, lo me." These are incorrect couplings of double object pronouns because they do not follow the correct order of placement. In Spanish, the direct object pronoun (lo, las) should come before the indirect object pronoun (me, te, se, le). Therefore, "lo se" is incorrect because it should be "se lo," "le las" should be "las le," and "lo me" should be "me lo."
2.
When placing an indirect and direct object pronoun in a sentence, the indirect is placed first.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
In Spanish, when using both an indirect and direct object pronoun in a sentence, the indirect object pronoun is placed before the direct object pronoun. This is a general rule that helps to clarify the meaning of the sentence and avoid ambiguity. By placing the indirect object pronoun first, it establishes the recipient or beneficiary of the action before specifying the direct object. Therefore, the statement "When placing an indirect and direct object pronoun in a sentence, the indirect is placed first" is true.

Choose ALL correct locations for placement of double O.P.
Correct Answer(s)
A. In front of unconjugated verb
F. Attached to the end of present participle
G. Attached to infinitive
Explanation
The double object pronoun can be placed in front of an unconjugated verb, attached to the end of a present participle, and attached to an infinitive. This means that it can come before a verb that hasn't been conjugated, such as "I want to give them the book." It can also be attached to the end of a present participle, such as "She is showing them her new painting." And finally, it can be attached to an infinitive, such as "He needs to buy us some groceries."
4.
Double object pronouns can go in the same three spots as single object pronouns
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Double object pronouns can go in the same three spots as single object pronouns. This means that they can be placed before the verb, attached to the end of the verb, or placed after and separated by a preposition. This is true in both English and Spanish grammar.

Fill in the blank with the proper translation.The boy sends me it.El chico ____ ____ manda.
Correct Answer
C. Me la
Explanation
The correct answer is "me la". In Spanish, when referring to a direct object, the pronouns "me" and "la" are used. "Me" indicates that the action is being done to the speaker, and "la" indicates that the object being sent is feminine. Therefore, "me la" translates to "me it" in English, which correctly completes the sentence "El chico me la manda" meaning "The boy sends me it."
6.
Where is the word properly accentuated?
Correct Answer
B. Mandármelo
Explanation
The word "mandármelo" is properly accentuated. In Spanish, accents are used to indicate where the stress falls in a word. In this case, the accent mark on the letter "á" indicates that the stress is on the second-to-last syllable, "melo." Without the accent mark, the stress would fall on the last syllable, "lo," which would be incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is "mandármelo."
