Rewrite the Spanish sentence below by substituting “bloques” with its correct direct object pronoun. (For example: Yo tengo la pluma en mi mano. Yo la tengo.)

Question

Erica tiene bloques en la bolsa.

b.) Explain why the direct object pronoun that you chose is correct.

Answer 1

Erica tiene bloques en la bolsa.
Erica los tiene en la bolsa.

b.) The direct object pronoun "los" is correct because "bloques" is a masculine plural noun. In Spanish, the direct object pronouns are "lo" for masculine singular, "la" for feminine singular, "los" for masculine plural, and "las" for feminine plural. Since "bloques" refers to multiple items ("bloques" is masculine and plural), we use "los" to substitute for "bloques."
