Getting the pronouns straight.

Hey guys, in lesson 2.1 Amy asks the following question: ¿Quiere visitar un museo o una iglesia?

Could you also say/write is as: ¿Le quiere visitar un museo o una iglesia? Thanks!

Of course you can say and write that, but it sounds wierd. But still you can make your point.
The correct or common ways to say this will be:

1 ¿Quiere visitar un museo o una iglesia?.
2¿Quieres visitar un museo o una iglesia? (informal "quieres" meaning "tu" instead of "usted".

And you can also say, ¿Le gustaria visitar un museo o una iglesia?...in this case it would be like "Would you like to visit a musuem or a church"...instead of "You want to visit a museum...?.

So its "want" against "like"....quiere or le gustaria....


buena suerte, saludos!!

Do I need to change the pronoun depending on gender. In the course we get Después de escribir la carta y ponerla en un sobre, vas a una oficina de correos. If I used a male noun would it be ponerlo por ejemplo Después de leer el libro y ponerlo en la mesa, vas a la biblioteca.
