Could you type in the correct substitution for the sentence. Ellos compraron la comida para mí. Ellos me ___ compraron.

Question

Can you please help me Im not very familiar with Indirect/Direct object pronouns.

Answer 1

You would say "ellos me la compraron," because the direct article "la" here functions as the direct object pronoun. We use "la" because "comida" is a feminine noun. If it was a masculine noun, such as "perro", e.g. "ellos compraron el perro para/a mi," we could write it as "ellos me lo compraron" in the streamlined form.

Answer 2

Hola, Naheim. :)

The right answer is "Ellos me la compraron". "La" is the DIRECT object pronoun that replaces "comida". And "me" is the INDIRECT object pronoun for "yo".
