| S210 Second-Year Spanish Composition | __________________ |
Practice: Word order
Several students are discussing the long-lost S210 textbook. Write out the
Spanish equivalents of the sentences involved:
| Does she have the book? | ¿Tiene (ella) el libro? [¿Tiene el libro ella?] | |
| No, she doesn't have the book. | No, (ella) no tiene el libro. | |
| Who has the book? | ¿Quién tiene el libro? | |
| No one has it. | Nadie lo tiene. | |
| I have it. | Yo lo tengo. / Lo tengo yo. | |
| I like the book. | [A mí] me gusta el libro. | |
| Give it to me! | ¡Dámelo! [¡Démelo!, ¡Dénmelo!, ¡Dádmelo!] | |
| Don't give it to him! | No se lo des! [dé, den, deis] | |
| *You've got three minutes left! | ¡Te/Le/Les/Os quedan tres minutos! | |
| I'll give the book to the prof. | (Yo) le doy el libro al profesor. | |
| You'll give the book to me! | Me darás el libro a mí [dará, darán, daréis]. | |
| **Here it is. | Aquí lo tienes [tiene, tienen, tenéis]. |
*Reminder: to be left, to be remaining = quedar.
**What is the function of it in this sentence (subject, direct object, predicate pronoun)? Thus, what pronoun if any do you use here in Spanish?
