Question

In the following sentence, which direct object requires the personal a?
(I don't really get this question, please help!)
a. el tren
b. el monumento
c. la amiga de mi mama
d. el barco

Right dow I think that it is el barco but I'm not sure...

Answer 1

The personal a is usually used when the direct objects are people or pets. It usually comes before the direct object that's a person. So the answer would be C, because your are talking about a person, "the friend of my mother." "Vi a la amiga de mi mama."
