Nosotros compramos los boletos para ti.

Write the TWO object pronouns (lowercase and separated with a space) that would correctly complete each sentence.

Hi. The translation into English is We buy tickets for you, also could be we bought tickets for you. The verb "comprar" , to buy, in the first person of the plural (we) is written the same in the present tense and in the past tense (we buy = nosotros compramos. we bought= nosotros compramos). Cannot be we are buying tickets for you because that is presente continuo (Present Continuous) and in that case you have to use the verb to estar+the verb in gerund= nosotros estamos comprando boletos para ti (we are buying tickets for you). *To get the direct object pronoun just ask what to the verb =what do you buy or you bought? .......................tickets... *To get the indirect object pronoun just ask to who or for who to the verb = to who buy or for who you bought the tickets?...............for you. Other doubt, please do not hesitate to ask.

Clarissa,
    Your Spanish translated into English states the following:  We are buying tickets for you.
 
To find the direct object, you ask yourself," What are you buying?"
 
The answer is the direct object:  tickets
 
 
The indirect object answers the question,"For whom are they buying the tickets?"
 
The answer is your indirect object:  you
 
I will let you follow the format that they want, and you can translate the answer back into Spanish.
 
If I have helped you, please give me a thumbs up.
