*(Do you want to go on vacation? I will send * you/me* the name of the hotel.)*
The word *”(tú) quieres”* helped us figure out which pronoun to choose. *”Quieres”* is second-person singular form of *querer*, so we used the second-person singular pronoun, which is “***te***.”
*(Susana does not find her hair comb. I give her/us my comb.)*
*Susana* is third-person singular, so we used the third-person singular pronoun, which is “***le***.”
*(Patricia and I bought handicrafts. We/You like the handicrafts.)*
*Patricia and I (we)* is first-person plural, so we used the first-person plural pronoun, which is “***nos***.”
*(Do you know how to surf? Do I/you like doing it?)*
The word *”(tú) sabes”* helped us figure out which pronoun to choose. *”Sabes”* is second-person singular form of *saber*, so we used the second-person singular pronoun, which is “***te***.”

Here, we assumed the person asking the question wanted sunblock. That is why we used “***me***.”
1. te
2. le
3. Nos
4. Te
5. Me
