Posted by As we know, in Spanish, we must always use the preposition a when the object of the sentence is a person (or a pet). This can be tricky for English speakers, since sentences with people as objects don’t directly translate:
| I visit Mary. | Visito a Mary. |
| I call my aunt. | Llamo a mi tía. |
| She loves her chihuahua. | Ella ama a su chihuahua. |
| Lisa helped Alice with her homework. | Lisa ayudó a Alice con su tarea. |
| I don’t know Louis. | No conozco a Louis. |
| I asked Peter about his new job. | Pregunté a Peter sobre su nuevo empleo. |
| Eliza saw Laura in the park. | Eliza vio a Laura en el parque. |
Verbo de la semana:
Enhebrar (to thread a needle)
| Pedro enhebró la aguja y cosió un botón. | Pedro threaded the needle and sewed a button. |
| ¿Pudiste enhebrar esa aguja? | Were you able to thread that needle? |
