| Nov 18, 2022 at 23:32 | comment | added | capet | @Lambie Thanks! I don't quite understand your first point. "You are using direct and indirect objects, there is no prepositional phrase at all, it is about substituting indirect and direct object pronouns for nouns." Can you explain that in a different way? (To me, on the contrary, it seems like the video linked above is indeed replacing a prepositional phrase ("para nosotros") with a pronoun ("nos.")) | |
| Nov 18, 2022 at 23:29 | comment | added | capet | Yes, I remember what you said about reflexive verbs. In my examples, I was trying to use "le" to replace "en estas circunstancias," and then used "se" in place of "le" because it came right before "lo." If I understand you correctly, that use is not appropriate because it is not correct to replace "en estas circunstancias" with a pronoun. Is that right? | |

| Nov 18, 2022 at 23:14 | comment | added | capet | That makes sense, thanks @Lambie! I will try to answer your questions. The first sentence comes from here: google.com/books/edition/… | |

You can't replace en estas circunstancias. The community demands it in these circumstances. It would just be: La communidad lo exige en estas circunstancias. Remember what I said about reflexive? Exigir here is NOT reflexive. Se exige means: It is required. Se exige camisa en el restaurant. A shirt is required in the restaurant. | |
| Nov 18, 2022 at 23:08 | comment | added | Lambie | I'm afraid your description is slightly off: If you take this: Mi hermano prepara la sopa para nosotros. And then say it's equal in meaning to this: Mi hermano nos la prepara Tou are using direct and indirect objects, there is no prepositional phrase at all, It about substituting indirect and direct object pronouns for nouns. Where did you find those numbered sentences? The substitutions are not quite right. And 2) rewrite does work at all. | |
