What questions are helpful to ask yourself when trying to identify the indirect object in relation to the action of the verb?
You should ask yourself "to whom" or "for whom" is the action performed. For example: He writes his friend a letter each week, can be thought of by asking "to whom did he write the letter?" in this sentence "his friend" in the indirect object and the letter is the direct object.
30
Spanish indirect objects are fundamentally prepositional phrases with "a" which is equivalent to "to, for, or from." Using "a" how would I say to you or to me?
a ti, or a mí
31
Indirect object pronouns are the same as direct object pronouns except when using the third person. They can be used when no ambiguity and no particular emphasis is on the indirect object. They also replace "a." How would you change "a ti" into one of these pronouns? How about a nosotros, or a usted?
a ti= te, a nosotros= nos, and a usted= le. (pg. 137)
32
lejos
far
33
How do you distinguish between indirect and direct objects?
Personal direct objects use the personal "a" and indirect objects use a prepositional "a," but indirect objects also have a redundant pronoun which helps to distinguish them from direct objects.

38

40
When forming a sentence using the redundant indirect object pronoun: The prepositional phrase A ti/usted/ella... is traditionally used for additional emphasis or to clarify when the pronoun is le or les. This prepositional phrase in the redundant part because the "redundant pronoun" can be used by itself. What are the most confusing issues related to this topic?
The prepositional phrase does not have a fixed position, and tthe pronoun doesn't have to begin the sentence. The indirect object pronoun occurs only with a verb and in the same position as the direct object pronoun.
41
When considering unstressed and stressed possessive adjectives what is the simplist way to determine where to add them in the sentence?
Think of the two sentences: My car, and The car is mine. This English convention is the same in Spanish. Unstressed possesives come before nouns and stressed after nouns.
42
Stressed possessives agree in number and gender with the noun they modify. They are used with ser, they accompany and follow nouns, and are used with the definate article to stand for nouns. What are some examples of this?
1) son mías or sí, es suyo. 2) unos amigos míos 3) cuál es el tuyo?
43
Using que as a relative pronoun. The relative pronoun que can be thought of as an adjective. In the sentence "La chica que viene es mi prima," everything following que is describing the girl/noun. This qualifying phrase is led by que. How is que used as a conjunction?
In spanish que is used as a conjunction to put what could be two independent sentences together and cannot be omitted as it can be in English. Ex: "Creen que voy a ir" translates to: They think (that) I'm going to go. In Spanish que must be present to indicate "that."
44
Spanish forms for certain words correspond to changes in function such that they can be classified as either Adverbs prepositions or conjuctions: lejos is an adverb but lejos de is a preposition, though it has no conjuction form. What about antes? Also, where do you place these various forms in a sentence?
Adverb: antes, Preposition: antes de, Conjuction: antes de que. As far as sentence placement is concerned adverbs can be anywhere, prepositional forms such as "antes de" would be followed by either a noun, pronoun, or infinitive, and the conjuctional form is followed by the personal verb form (conjugated). Don't confuse the infinitive and conjugative form!
