Question

Making sure that I understand this correctly.

Fill in the blank with the correct direct object pronoun, based on the word in parentheses, that best complete this sentence:
Ustedes _______ traen. (cuchillos)

Wouldn't it be "las" since ustedes is formal and cuchillos is plural? If not could I get a quick explanation? Please and thank you!

Answer 1

You're close.

The word is "cuchillos."
And there are two things that are very important about this word:

1. It is PLURAL.
2. It is MASCULINE.

Here are all the Spanish direct-object pronouns, and their uses:


Lo (singular/masculine)

Los (plural/masculine)

La (singular/feminine)

Las (plural/feminine)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it's not "las,"
because "cuchillos" is plural, but not feminine.

Answer 2

Ah okay I got it, so it would be los. Thank you very much!

Answer 3

Sí. De nada.
