Speaking Spanish with Ana

Introduction

Ana, ¿a quién le hablas español?

__________.

A. Les hablamos español a ellos.

B. Juan me habla español.

C. Tú le hablas español a Juan.

D. Le hablo español a Juan.

Answer

Answer: The right answer is the D) Le hablo español a Juan.

Explanation

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that Ana, the subject, has been asked "Whom do you speak Spanish?," so the answer should be "I speak Spanish to..." Option C is incorrect, since she is not the one replying ("You speak Spanish to Juan," it says). Option B is also incorrect, since she is saying that Juan speaks Spanish to her. Finally, in option A the subject and the indirect object are plural ("We speak Spanish to them," it says). The right answer is, therefore, the D. "Le" is a personal pronoun in dative case that refers to the person that Ana speaks Spanish to.
