¿Por qué se usa "la"?

Question

Hola,¿Por qué se usa "la" aquí en esta frase, se refiere a doña Berta? ¿Por qué "la" en vez de "le"?"Espere, doña Berta. Yo la ayudo con las bolsas."¡Muchas gracias!

Answer

Hola DariaAyudar is a transitive verb and when you say "to help someone", that someone is a direct object, therefore here you need the direct object pronoun "la" for singular feminine. SaludosInma

Hello, I have a similar question as Daria regarding the sentence "Espere, doña Berta. Yo la ayudo con las bolsas."

Do you use "la" because you are addressing her formally? If it was informal, would you say instead "Yo te ayudo con las bolsas"?

Hola AndyYes, that's right. It's "la ayudo" to make it formal, as opposed to the informal "te" in "te ayudo". Saludos
