I saw this in an article on the BBC about direct and indirect object pronouns.
Escuchamos al cantante.
Le escuchamos.
Is that corrrct? I don’t get why we'd use the indirect object pronoun here. What is the direct object in this case?
In the example “Ellos siempre estan comiendo” why is the present progressive tense used. In my research I learned that the progressive tense is used for temporary ongoing action. The use of siempre implies that it is not temporary.
Can a demonstrative adjective such as "este" for example, ever be used alone to signify a person or thing?
Por ejemplo:
Ana irá a la escuela con Pedro con la condición que ESTE lleve sus libros.
Why do you use 'alguin in this sentence? Do you want anything from the shop? Because it says you cant use algo with a noun and shop is a noun.
