"Los turistas no ________ al guía del grupo.
The tourists do not understand the group guide.(HINT: Conjugate "entender" in El Presente)"
¿Por qué dice "al guía" en la oración y no "la guía"?

Hola Mits
This is because some verbs need the preposition "a" when they have a direct object that is a person. This is called the "personal a". In this case, we have this "to understand someone" - than someone (direct object) referring to a person (the guide), so it is "entender al guía" ( al = a + el contracted).
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
