Answer 1

Hello:
Here are the indirect object pronouns you would need:

* me -- this used with 2nd person singular = meaning: <<a mi>>
* te -- 2nd person singular = <<a ti>>
* se -- 3rd person singular = <<a él>>, <<a ella>>

* nos -- 1st person plural = <<a nosotros>>, <<a nosotras>>
* os -- 2nd person plural = <<a vosotros>>, <<a ella>>
* les -- 3rd person plural = <<a ellos>>, <<a ellos>>

=======
So, if we begin by the first blank:
<<___ voy a comentar un secreto (a ti)>>. Note the information given in brackets: <<a ti>>.
If you look at the list above, what would you say is the right relative pronoun here...

Yes! It's <<te>> (= <<a ti>>).

=======
The second blank is more difficult. But look at the verb form: <<estamos>>. The ending <<-mos>> shows you it's 1st person plural: we, i.e. <<nosotros>>.
So... Can you guess what the right answer is...


Hope this helps you understand how it works!
Blessings

Answer 2

Hello again:
After thinking about this again, I realized the instructions I gave you to fill in the second blank are wrong. Sorry about that.

Here is how I think you could tackle this task:
You'll notice that almost every sentence has a phrase beginning by <a...>. For example: in the sentence where the second blank is, you have <a mi esposo>, that is, "to my husband".
Now, think about that again, using your English knowledge first: what pronoun would replace "to my husband"...?
It should be "to him", right? That's because "him" is 3rd person singular, just like "my husband".

So, let me give you the list of pronouns again, but this time with the English translation:

* me -- 1st person singular = <<a mi>> = to me
* te -- 2nd person singular = <<a ti>> = to you
* se -- 3rd person singular = <<a él>>, <<a ella>> = to him, to her

* nos -- 1st person plural = <<a nosotros>>, <<a nosotras>> = to us
* os -- 2nd person plural = <<a vosotros>>, <<a ella>> = to you
* les -- 3rd person plural = <<a ellos>>, <<a ellos>> = to them

Does it make sense now? (As I said, not all the sentences have a phrase begining with <a..>... But do you think you could guess from the context?)

Hope that helps!
Blessings
