(4 points)
The personal "a" should be used in a sentence before a direct object that refers to a specific person or pet. This is to show that the direct object is a person or pet that is being acted upon by the subject of the sentence.
Example:
English: I see my friend. (No personal a)
Spanish: Veo a mi amigo. (Personal a used before "mi amigo")
