Do you need a Pen pal?
Hi Tyler
I can help you with Spanish. For the beginning you can write me about what are you learning in your Spanish class or how can you go to the College and fron this short story I can write you in Spanish and some explanations in English.
I have 2 penpals now in cero (0) and two advance and write frequently.
Hope to know from you,
Mary

Re:Indirect and direct Objects
This will be a very basic explanation
Direct object:
First and foremost you must know the gendre and number of the noun, ie, if it’s female, masculine, plural or singular.
If the noun is singular and masculine, you replace it by LO, whereas if it’s plural you replace it by LOS ( before the verb)
Compré un LIBRO >>> LO compré (I bought it)
Compré tres LIBROS >>> LOS compré(I bought them)
No compré el LIBRO >>> No LO compré. (I did’t buy it)
No compré los LIBROS >>> No LOS compré. ( I did’t buy them)
If the noun is singular and feminine , you replace it by LA, whereas if it’s plural you replace it by LAS.
Horneé una TORTA >>> LA horneé
Horneé unas TORTAS >>> LAS horneé
(Negative form as above: No LA horneé/ No LAS horneé)
Indirect object: ( it replaces the structure ‘preposition + alguien/algo’)
You replace the structure by LE ( singular form) or LES (plural form) regardless of the gendre.
Puse un moño AL PAQUETE >>> LE puse un moño.
Puse unos moños A LOS PAQUETES >>> LES puse unos moños.
Hablé CON LA NIÑA >>>LE hablé
Hablé CON LAS NIÑAS >>> LES hablé
(negative form as above : No LE hablé/ No LES hablé)
Hope it helps you!!!!!!!
Remeber that la, las, los are also used as articles

Thank you all for your replies.

What's the English for...
What do you call a long distance bus whose seats can be lowered in such a way that passangers can sleep comfortably while travelling at night?
Yesterday I saw one such bus on the highway, and on the rear it read "sleeping bus". Is this term correct? It sounds odd to me, kind of taken from a fairy tale or sth., but well, I’m not a native speaker of English, so who knows, maybe it’s right
If there's anyone interested, in Argentina we call it "coche cama".

- Tu Español es muy bueno -
Tu texto es perfecto! Se entiende muy bien!
1).la situación de México no ha mejorado sino sigue (siendo)grave
La situación de México no ha mejorado sino "que" sigue siendo grave)
2).La población no tanto hay electricidad, como no existe un sistema de carreteras suficiente y tampoco tienen agua coriente.
La población "no tiene" electricidad, "ni" existe un sistema de carreteras suficiente y tampoco tienen agua corriente.
/no tiene electricidad/ también puedes usar
/carece de electricidad/
3).Ya que la asistencia médica está escaso, mucha gente y especialmente los niños se mueren de enfermedades.
Ya que la asistencia médica "es escasa", mucha gente....
4).Por estas razones y la falta de libertad y justicia, el descontento por el gobierno predomino (entre los mexicanos)

Re: Ayuda para Lupin
Hola Lupin:
Hace calor es la forma que siempre he oído para referirse a la temperatura.
La otra forma podría usarse en un lugar donde no esperas que esté caliente como por ejemplo en una oficina donde hay aire acondicionado, donde éste se ha dañado, uno dirìa ...Hay calor
O si está pasando un vapor de la cocina a la sala, algo incomodo
uno dirìa Hay calor. como algo que no es usual allí.
Es todo, Estoy a tu orden...
