May I introduce you to my husband.\n\nIf you are introducing a person by their first name, without including their title, you add an 'a' before the name:\n\nExample: Le presento a Ray Blakney -> May I introduce you to Ray Blakney.\n\nIf you are introducing a person with their title you add either an 'a la' if they are female or 'al', spelled 'A-L' if they are male. That is just contraction of 'a el'.\n\nExample: Le presento a la doctora Sánchez -> May I introduce you to Dr. Sánchez.\n\nNow, repeat all the following phrases out loud, but add the word 'le presento' at the beginning of each one.\n\nExample: A mi hijo -> Le presento a mi hijo.\n\nFind more practice exercises in this blog post after listening to the episode.\n\nDon't forget to subscribe here, rate 5 stars, and leave a review!"}" data-sheets-userformat= "{"2":14465,"3":{"1":0,"3":1},"10":1,"14":{"1":3,"3":1},"15":"Arial","16":10}"> Let's practice introducing others. To introduce others we will use the phrase 'le presento' which means 'may I introduce you to'.

This is followed by my 'mi' if you are introducing a family member, since you are implying a relationship to you.

Example: Le presento a mi esposo -> May I introduce you to my husband.

If you are introducing a person by their first name, without including their title, you add an 'a' before the name:

Example: Le presento a Ray Blakney -> May I introduce you to Ray Blakney.

If you are introducing a person with their title you add either an 'a la' if they are female or 'al', spelled 'A-L' if they are male. That is just contraction of 'a el'.

Example: Le presento a la doctora Sánchez -> May I introduce you to Dr. Sánchez.

Now, repeat all the following phrases out loud, but add the word 'le presento' at the beginning of each one.

Example: A mi hijo -> Le presento a mi hijo.
