Reverse Verbs (Gustar, Interesar, Aburrir)
Using the clarifiers and emphasizers in the sentence, fill in the first blank with the correct indirect object pronoun.

Using the noun that appears in the sentence (remember, the clue for distinguishing nouns is that they have el, la, los, las in front of them), determine whether you need a plural or singular ending on the verb, then write the correct form of the verb in the second blank capitalizing the ending only.

Remember, you will only be writing TWO words..

Here is an example:
A ustedes no los partidos de voleibol. (interesar)
A ustedes no LES los partidos de voleibol. ["A ustedes" is one of the clarifiers for "les".]
A ustedes no les interesan los partidos de voleibol. ["Los partidos" is plural, so the verb takes the plural ending.]

On the line you write as your "les interesan" ONLY. Keep EVERYTHING lowercase. NO uppercase letters
Nuestros padres quieren ir a pescar a México, pero a mi hermano y a mí (aburrir) los barcos. *
