Hints for this Quiz
Think: “to give something to someone” — always a alguien.
Use the correct preposition with "regalar".
In Spanish: regalar algo a alguien. The preposition "a" is required before the person who receives the gift: regalar un libro a mi madre.
Traer = movement towards the speaker; llevar = movement away from the speaker.
The host speaks from the point of reception: wine is being “brought” to them (traer). Llevar means “to take somewhere (away from me)”.
If you’re carrying it “there,” it’s llevar.
As a guest, you are taking the cake from your place (away from you) — that’s llevar. Traer would be used when you are already at the place and “bringing it here”.
In Spanish, invitar often means “to treat (to pay).”
Invitar (in a restaurant context) = “to treat, to pay for others.” The sentence means: “I’m paying for everyone.”
You need the fixed expression “to be invited.”
Estar invitado/a = “to be invited (you’re the guest / they pay for you).” The other forms are incorrect in meaning or grammar.
It should be le + a alguien. The preposition a is required.
Pronouns and word order with "regalar".
Correct: "Le voy a regalar flores a mi abuela." Indirect object le + a mi abuela; you can’t put le after the object, and you need the preposition a.
Look for the meaning “I’m treating / I’m paying.”
Te invito (in a restaurant context) = “I’m treating you, I’m paying.” Estás invitado means “you’re invited (you’re a guest),” but it doesn’t explicitly mean “I’m paying right now.”
To whom? — le (singular).
The indirect object (to whom?) is le. Lo/la are direct object pronouns (“him/her/it”), but here you need “to him”: le.
