6. In the sentence, "Mis padres me llaman los sábados." (My parents call me on Saturdays.), is
"me" a direct for indirect object pronoun?

This is an indirect object pronoun, because the me is telling who the parents are calling

** It is a direct object pronoun because it receiving the action directly: the verb is "llaman" and
the direct recipient of that action is "me"

7. In the sentence, "Paula nos dice la verdad," (Paula tells the truth to us.) is the "nos" a direct
or indirect object pronoun?

This is a direct object pronoun.

** It is indirect. The verb "dice" is directed to "la verdad," not to "nos," so "nos" is indirect.

8. Me quiero escibir la carta a mi mejor amiga.

** "Me" is reflexive (myself).

9. Yo me compro una bicicleta nueva para mi hermano.

** Same as previous question. You wrote "I buy myself a new bicycle for my brother"

12. Nosotros vamos a recomendar el restaurante a nuestra familia.

Nosotros nos vamos a recomendar el restaurante

** "nos vamos" is the reflexive. You wrote "We are going to recommend ourselves the
restaurant"

14. Quiero hacer las maletas para mis padres.

Quiero les hacer las maletas

** You must put the indirect object pronoun "les" at the end of the verb hacer

17. Now, using what you have learned about direct and indirect objects in Spanish, write three
original Spanish sentences that use indirect objects as well as their English translations. Follow
the example below.

Yo le digo que come = I tell her to eat

** You wrote "I tell her that she eats." Conjugate "comer" in the imperative.
