The Spanish personal "a"
It says in the spanish grammar book that I'm studying that personal "a" can be treated as a sign of respect (to a person). In this context, is it correct to use "a" when referring to el ladrón? Example: Ellos descubren a un ladrón en la casa. I'm confused because of the above explanation.
Again the book explains that personal "a" is not used when the direct object is a pet or other animals. But then the first example given is: Amo a mi preciosa gata, Princesa. Please clarify for me. Thank you in advance.
